This article challenges popular claims about radic This article challenges popular claims about radical life extension and explains why human longevity has biological limits, why further increases in life expectancy are slowing, and why the real goal should be to extend healthspan, not lifespan.
The authors show that many predictions of extreme longevity are based on mathematical extrapolation, not biological reality, and that these predictions ignore fundamental constraints imposed by human physiology, genetics, evolutionary history, and mortality patterns.
🧠 1. The Central Argument
Human lifespan has increased dramatically over the last 120 years, but this increase is slowing.
The authors argue that:
✅ Human longevity has an upper limit, around 85 years of average life expectancy
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
Not because we “stop improving,” but because biology imposes ceilings on mortality improvement at older ages.
❌ Radical life extension is not supported by evidence
Predictions that most people born after 2000 “will live to 100” rest on unrealistic assumptions about future declines in mortality.
⭐ The real opportunity is health extension
Improving how long people live free of disease, disability, and frailty.
📉 2. Why Radical Life Extension Is Unlikely
The paper critiques three groups of claims:
A. Mathematical extrapolations
Some argue that because death rates declined historically, they will continue to decline indefinitely—even reaching zero.
The authors compare this flawed reasoning to Zeno’s Paradox: a mathematical idea that ignores biological reality.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
B. Claims of actuarial escape velocity
Some predict that near-future technology will reduce mortality so rapidly that people’s remaining lifespan increases every year.
The authors emphasize:
No biological evidence supports this.
Death rates after age 105 are extremely high (≈50%), not near 1%.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
C. Linear forecasts of rising life expectancy
Predictions that life expectancy will continue to increase at 2 years per decade require huge annual mortality declines.
But real-world U.S. data show:
Only one decade since 1990 approached those gains.
Mortality improvements have dramatically slowed since 2010.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
🧬 3. Biological, Demographic, and Evolutionary Limits
The authors outline three independent scientific lines of evidence that point to limits:
1. Life table entropy
As life expectancy approaches 80+, mortality becomes heavily concentrated between ages 60–95.
Saving lives at these ages produces diminishing returns.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
2. Cross-species mortality patterns
When human, mouse, and dog mortality curves are scaled for time, they form parallel patterns, showing that each species has an inherent mortality signature tied to its evolutionary biology.
For humans, these comparisons imply an upper limit near 85 years.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
3. Species-specific “warranty periods”
Each species has a biological “design life,” tied to reproductive age, development, and evolutionary trade-offs.
Human biology evolved to optimize survival to reproductive success, not extreme longevity.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
These three independent methods converge on the same conclusion:
Human populations cannot exceed an average life expectancy of ~85 years without altering the biology of aging.
🧩 4. Why Life Expectancy Is Slowing
Life expectancy cannot keep rising linearly because:
Young-age mortality has already fallen to very low levels.
Future gains must come from reducing old-age mortality.
But aging itself is the strongest risk factor for chronic disease.
Diseases of aging (heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, cancer) emerge because we live longer than ever before.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
In short:
We already harvested the “easy wins” in longevity.
❤️ 5. The Case for Healthspan, Not Lifespan
The authors make a strong argument that focusing on curing individual diseases is inefficient:
If you cure one disease, people survive longer and simply live long enough to develop another.
This increases the “red zone”: a period of frailty and disability at the end of life.
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
⭐ The solution: Target the process of aging itself
This is the basis of Geroscience and the Longevity Dividend:
Slow biological aging
Delay multiple diseases simultaneously
Increase years of healthy life
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
This approach could:
Compress morbidity
Improve quality of life
Extend healthspan
Produce only moderate increases in lifespan (not radical ones)
🔍 6. The Authors’ Final Conclusions
1. Radical life extension lacks biological evidence.
Most claims rely on mathematical mistakes or speculation.
2. Human longevity is biologically constrained.
Current estimates show:
Lifespan limit ≈ 115 for individuals
Life expectancy limit ≈ 85 for populations
Inconvenient Truths About Human…
3. Gains in life expectancy are slowing globally.
Many countries are already leveling off near 83–85.
4. Healthspan extension is the path forward.
Improving biological aging processes could revolutionize medicine—even if lifespan changes are small.
🟢 PERFECT ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY
Human longevity is nearing its biological limits, radical life extension is unsupported by science, and the true opportunity for the future lies not in making humans live far longer, but in enabling them to live far healthier.

This PDF is a detailed research report that explai This PDF is a detailed research report that explains the deep, two-way relationship between poverty and poor health. It argues that poverty is both a cause and a consequence of ill health, creating a cycle that traps individuals, families, and entire communities. The document is designed for policymakers, development practitioners, and health-sector planners.
The central message is clear:
Poor people get sick more often, and sickness keeps them poor.
🔍 Core Purpose of the Document
The PDF examines:
How social and economic deprivation leads to worse health outcomes
How ill health reduces productivity, income, and quality of life
How health systems often fail the poor
Why tackling poverty must include tackling health inequalities
It provides data, conceptual frameworks, and policy recommendations for breaking the poverty–illness cycle.
🧠 Main Themes of the PDF
1. Poverty Causes Poor Health
People living in poverty face:
Malnutrition
Unsafe water and sanitation
Overcrowded housing
Dangerous working conditions
Limited access to healthcare
Higher exposure to infectious diseases
These factors lead to:
High mortality
High infant and maternal death rates
Chronic illness
Disability
Poor people also receive health care that is:
Lower quality
More expensive relative to income
Harder to access due to distance, discrimination, or fees
2. Poor Health Causes Poverty
Illness pushes people deeper into poverty through:
Loss of income
Long-term disability
High out-of-pocket medical expenses
Debt from seeking care
Reduced productivity
Families often sell assets, withdraw children from school, or fall into chronic poverty because of health shocks.
3. The Health–Poverty Trap
The document describes a self-reinforcing cycle:
Poverty → Poor living conditions → Illness → Lower income → Deeper poverty → More illness
Breaking this cycle requires coordinated action across:
Health systems
Social protection
Education
Water and sanitation
Nutrition
4. Health Inequalities
The PDF emphasizes that in nearly all countries:
Poor people die younger
Have more disease
Spend a larger share of income on health
Face discrimination in health systems
The differences in health outcomes between the richest and poorest groups are described as unacceptable, avoidable, and unjust.
5. The Role of Health Systems
The report highlights major barriers poor people face:
User fees
Long distances to clinics
Lack of medicines
Understaffed facilities
Corruption
Poor-quality care
It argues that health systems must be:
Affordable
Accessible
People-centered
Equitable
Integrated with social support programs
6. Breaking the Cycle
The PDF recommends strategies such as:
Universal Health Coverage (UHC)
Removing financial barriers to care
Cash-transfer programs
Education, especially for girls
Nutrition support
Improved water and sanitation
Community health workers
Targeted interventions for the extreme poor
⭐ Overall Message
The document concludes that eliminating poverty is not possible without improving health—and improving health is not possible without addressing poverty. A multisectoral approach, combining health policy with social development and economic inclusion, is essential....

The PDF is a scientific research article that inve The PDF is a scientific research article that investigates how different castes of an ant species—especially workers—possess distinct bioenergetic profiles, meaning their cells produce and use energy differently depending on their caste function.
The study uses integrated proteomic and metabolic analyses to uncover how metabolic pathways differ between worker ants, queens, and males, revealing a unique energy-production signature in workers that is not seen in other castes.
📌 Purpose of the Study
The research aims to understand how division of labor in social insects is supported at the cellular and metabolic level.
Because workers perform the majority of colony tasks—like foraging, nursing, defense, and nest maintenance—the authors examine whether their bioenergetic machinery (proteins, mitochondria, and metabolic pathways) is uniquely adapted for their high functional demands.
🧬 Key Findings
1. Workers have a unique bioenergetic signature
Workers differ sharply from queens and males in the abundance of proteins involved in:
NADH metabolism
TCA cycle (citric acid cycle)
Fatty acid oxidation
Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)
NAD⁺ salvage pathways
Inter-Caste Comparison Reveals …
These differences indicate that worker ants possess a highly specialized, high-efficiency energy system designed to support their physically demanding roles.
2. Worker brains show molecular specializations
Proteomic analysis of brains shows:
Elevated levels of proteins linked to neurometabolic robustness
Stronger support for active, energy-intensive behaviors
Optimization of brain tissue for sustained activity, problem solving, and task execution
Inter-Caste Comparison Reveals …
This suggests that behavioral specialization begins at the cellular level.
3. Mitochondrial activity is specially enhanced in workers
Measurements demonstrate:
Higher mitochondrial respiration
Greater capacity for ATP production
More efficient energy turnover
Workers’ mitochondria are fine-tuned for endurance, allowing them to perform nonstop colony duties.
4. Integration of multiple datasets
The study combines:
Proteomics (“down-up, brain-up, up-down” clusters)
Gene network analysis (WGCNA)
Mitochondrial respiration assays
Pathway enrichment (TCA cycle, amino acid metabolism, glyoxylate cycle)
This holistic approach shows that worker caste metabolism is systemically distinct, not just different in a few proteins.
🐜 Biological Meaning
The findings highlight that social insect caste systems are supported by deep metabolic specialization.
Workers must be energetic, adaptable, and durable, and their bioenergetic profile reflects this.
Queens are optimized for reproduction, not high daily energy expenditure.
Males are optimized for short-lived reproductive roles, with simpler metabolic requirements.
Thus, caste differences are encoded not only in behavior and morphology—but also in core cellular metabolism.
📘 Overall Conclusion
The PDF demonstrates that worker ants have a unique, highly specialized energy-production system, visible across proteins, metabolic pathways, and mitochondrial function. This sets workers apart from other castes and explains their exceptional physical and cognitive performance inside the colony.
It reveals a bioenergetic foundation for division of labor, showing how evolution shapes cellular physiology to match social roles....

This study investigates the extreme longevity, gro This study investigates the extreme longevity, growth rates, and ecological significance of two proteinaceous deep-sea coral species, Gerardia sp. and Leiopathes sp., found in deep waters around Hawai’i and other global locations. Using radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analyses, the research reveals that these corals exhibit remarkably slow growth and lifespans extending thousands of years, far surpassing previous estimates. These findings have profound implications for deep-sea coral ecology, conservation, and fisheries management.
Key Insights
Deep-sea corals Gerardia sp. and Leiopathes sp. grow exceptionally slowly, with radial growth rates ranging from 4 to 85 µm per year.
Individual colonies can live for hundreds to several thousand years, with the oldest Gerardia specimen aged at 2,742 years and the oldest Leiopathes specimen at 4,265 years, making Leiopathes the oldest known skeletal accreting marine organism.
The corals feed primarily on freshly exported particulate organic matter (POM) from surface waters, as indicated by stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope data.
Radiocarbon analyses confirm the skeletal carbon originates from modern surface-water carbon sources, indicating minimal incorporation of old, “14C-free” carbon into the skeleton.
These slow growth rates and extreme longevities imply that deep-sea coral habitats are vulnerable to damage and slow to recover, challenging assumptions about their renewability.
Deep-sea coral communities are critical habitat hotspots for various fish and invertebrates, contributing to deep-sea biodiversity and ecosystem complexity.
Human impacts such as commercial harvesting for jewelry, deep-water fishing, and bottom trawling pose significant threats to these fragile ecosystems.
The study emphasizes the need for international, ecosystem-based conservation strategies and suggests current fisheries management frameworks may underestimate the vulnerability of these corals.
Background and Context
Deep-sea corals colonize hard substrates on seamounts and continental margins at depths of 300 to 3,000 meters worldwide. These corals form complex habitats that support high biodiversity and serve as important ecological refuges and feeding grounds for various marine species, including commercially valuable fish and endangered marine mammals like the Hawaiian monk seal.
Prior estimates of deep-sea coral longevity were inconsistent, ranging from decades (based on amino acid racemization and growth-band counts) to over a thousand years (based on radiocarbon dating). This study clarifies these discrepancies by:
Applying high-resolution radiocarbon dating to both living and subfossil coral specimens.
Using stable isotope analysis to identify coral carbon sources and trophic levels.
Comparing radiocarbon signatures in coral tissues and skeletons with surface-water carbon histories.
Methods Overview
Samples of Gerardia and Leiopathes were collected from several deep-sea coral beds around Hawai’i (Makapuu, Lanikai, Keahole Point, and Cross Seamount) using the NOAA/Hawaiian Undersea Research Laboratory’s Pisces submersibles.
Coral skeletons were sectioned radially, and microtome slicing was used to obtain thin layers (~100 µm) for precise radiocarbon analysis.
Radiocarbon (14C) ages were calibrated to calendar years using established reservoir age corrections.
Stable isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) were conducted on dried polyp tissues to determine trophic level and carbon sources.
Growth rates were calculated from radiocarbon profiles and bomb-pulse 14C signatures (the increase in atmospheric 14C from nuclear testing in the 1950s-60s).
Detailed Findings
Growth Rates and Longevity
Species Radial Growth Rate (µm/year) Maximum Individual Longevity (years)
Gerardia sp. Average 36 ± 20 (range 11-85) Up to 2,742
Leiopathes sp. Approximately 5 Up to 4,265
Gerardia growth rates vary widely but average around 36 µm/year.
Leiopathes grows more slowly (~5 µm/year) but lives longer.
Some Leiopathes specimens show faster initial growth (~13 µm/year) that slows with age.
Carbon Sources and Trophic Ecology
δ13C values for living polyp tissues of both species average around –19.3‰ (Gerardia) and –19.7‰ (Leiopathes), consistent with marine particulate organic carbon.
δ15N values are enriched relative to surface POM, averaging 8.3‰ (Gerardia) and 9.3‰ (Leiopathes), indicating they are low-order consumers, feeding primarily on freshly exported surface-derived POM.
Proteinaceous skeleton δ13C is slightly enriched (~3‰) compared to tissues, likely due to lipid exclusion in skeletal formation.
Radiocarbon profiles of coral skeletons closely match surface-water 14C histories, including bomb-pulse signals, confirming rapid transport of surface carbon to depth and minimal incorporation of old sedimentary carbon.
Ecological and Conservation Implications
The extreme longevity and slow growth of these corals imply that population recovery from physical disturbance (e.g., fishing gear, harvesting) takes centuries to millennia.
Deep-sea coral beds function as keystone habitats, enhancing biodiversity and providing essential fish habitat, including for endangered species.
Physical disturbances like bottom trawling, line entanglement, and coral harvesting for jewelry threaten these corals and their associated communities.
Existing fisheries management may overestimate sustainable harvest limits, especially for Gerardia, due to underestimating longevity and growth rates.
The United States Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) recognizes deep-sea corals as “essential fish habitat,” but enforcement and protection vary.
The study advocates for international, ecosystem-based management approaches that consider both surface ocean changes (e.g., climate change, ocean acidification) and deep-sea impacts.
The longevity data suggest that damage to these corals should not be considered temporary on human timescales, underscoring the need for precautionary management.

Core Concepts
Radiocarbon dating (14C) enables precise age determination of coral skeletons by comparing measured 14C levels to known atmospheric and oceanic 14C histories.
Bomb-pulse 14C is a distinct marker from nuclear testing that provides a temporal reference point for recent growth.
Stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) provide insights into trophic ecology and carbon sources.
Radial growth rates measure the increase in coral skeleton thickness per year, reflecting growth speed.
Longevity estimates derive from radiocarbon age calibrations of inner and outer skeletal layers.
Deep-sea coral beds are ecosystem engineers, forming complex habitats critical for marine biodiversity.
Conservation challenges arise due to very slow growth and extreme longevity, combined with anthropogenic threats.
Conclusions
Gerardia and Leiopathes deep-sea corals exhibit unprecedented longevity, with lifespans of up to 2,700 and 4,200 years, respectively.
Their slow radial growth rates and feeding on freshly exported surface POM indicate a close ecological coupling between surface ocean productivity and deep-sea benthic communities.
The longevity and slow recovery rates imply that damage to deep-sea coral beds is effectively irreversible on human timescales, demanding precautionary and stringent management.
These species serve as critical habitat-formers in the deep sea, supporting diverse marine life and contributing to ecosystem complexity.
There is an urgent need for international, ecosystem-based conservation strategies to protect these unique and vulnerable communities from fishing impacts, harvesting, and environmental changes.
Current fisheries management frameworks may inadequately reflect the nonrenewable nature of these coral populations and require revision based on these findings.

“Running as a Key Lifestyle Medicine for Longevity “Running as a Key Lifestyle Medicine for Longevity” is a clear, evidence-based review that presents running as one of the most powerful, accessible, and scientifically supported lifestyle interventions for increasing lifespan and healthspan. The paper synthesizes decades of research to show that even small amounts of running—far less than marathon-level training—can produce dramatic reductions in premature mortality and chronic disease risk.
Core Message
Running is not just exercise; it is a medicine. Regular running improves cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and psychological health through mechanisms that directly slow biological aging.
Key Findings & Insights
1. Running Significantly Extends Lifespan
Large population studies show that runners:
Live 3 to 7 years longer than non-runners
Have 30–45% lower risk of premature death
Experience significant protection against cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration
Even 5–10 minutes per day of slow jogging provides measurable longevity benefits.
2. Small Amounts Are Enough
The article emphasizes that:
Benefits plateau at relatively low weekly volumes
Running once or twice a week still increases lifespan
Intensity can be low; the key is consistency, not speed or distance
This makes running accessible to older adults and beginners.
3. Biological Mechanisms of Longevity
Running improves longevity by:
Enhancing cardiovascular efficiency and VO₂ max
Reducing inflammation
Improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
Strengthening bones, muscles, and mitochondrial function
Enhancing neuroplasticity and cognitive resilience
These mechanisms directly counteract age-related decline.
4. Mental and Emotional Benefits
Running reduces depression, anxiety, and stress—conditions that independently shorten lifespan. It also improves sleep, self-esteem, and cognitive performance.
5. Injury Risk Can Be Managed
The paper explains that injury risk decreases dramatically with:
Proper footwear
Slow progression
Strength training
Adequate recovery
Running is safe for most people when approached as “movement medicine” rather than competitive sport.
6. Running Is Highly Accessible
It requires:
No equipment
No gym membership
Minimal time
No special environment
This makes it a powerful public health tool for reducing chronic disease burden.
Overall Conclusion
The article argues that running is one of the simplest, most effective longevity interventions known. It is low-cost, widely accessible, and scientifically proven to extend life, improve physical and mental well-being, and reduce chronic disease risk. Even minimal running produces profound, long-lasting benefits—making it a cornerstone of lifestyle medicine for healthy aging....

With the modern quality, quantity, and availability of genomic sequencing across species, as well as across the expanse of human populations, we can screen for shared signatures underlying longevity and lifespan. Knowledge of these mechanisms would be medically invaluable in combating aging and age-related diseases. The diversity of longevities across vertebrates is an opportunity to look for patterns of genetic variation that may signal how this life history property is regulated, and ultimately how it can be modulated. Variation in human longevity provides a unique window to look for cases of extreme lifespan within a population, as well as associations across populations for factors that influence capacity to live longer. Current large cohort studies support the use of population level analyses to identify key factors associating with human lifespan. These studies are powerful in concept, but have demonstrated limited ability to resolve signals from background variation. In parallel, the expanding catalog of sequencing and annotation from diverse species, some of which have evolved longevities well past a human lifespan, provides independent cases to look at the genomic signatures of longevity. Recent comparative genomic work has shown promise in finding shared mechanisms associating with longevity among distantly related vertebrate groups. Given the genetic constraints between vertebrates, we posit that a combination of approaches, of parallel meta-analysis of human longevity along with refined analysis of other vertebrate clades having exceptional longevity, will aid in resolving key regulators
of enhanced lifespan that have proven to be elusive when analyzed in isolation....

“Longevity, Working Lives and Public Finances” is “Longevity, Working Lives and Public Finances” is a rigorous, policy-focused analysis exploring whether longer human lifespans can be financially sustainable within a welfare-state framework—specifically Finland’s. The central question is bold and practical: Can extended working lives generate enough tax revenue to offset the increased public spending caused by greater longevity, especially in health and long-term care?
The authors address this by integrating three strands of evidence:
Research on retirement decisions and pension policy
Empirical data on how mortality patterns influence health and long-term-care expenditures
The significant uncertainty and historical errors in mortality projections
They combine these inputs into a highly detailed overlapping-generations (OLG) general equilibrium model, calibrated to Finland’s economy and run across 500 stochastic population projections. This allows them to simulate how different longevity trajectories, retirement behaviors, and policy reforms affect fiscal sustainability over the next century.
🔍 Key Findings
1. Longevity is rising, but with uncertainty
Using stochastic population simulations, the paper demonstrates that life expectancy in Finland could vary significantly—making fiscal planning inherently risky. A 7–8 year rise in adult life expectancy is plausible, with wide uncertainty bands.
2. Longer lifetimes do not automatically extend working lives
Without policy intervention, people tend to retire early even as they live longer. Historical data shows Finland’s retirement age has barely increased despite decades of rising life expectancy.
3. Working lives can lengthen — but only with strong policy action
The model incorporates behavioral findings showing that:
Each +3 years of life expectancy increases working life by only ~6 months naturally.
Linking retirement age to life expectancy (as in many modern pension reforms) significantly boosts working years.
Adjusting disability pension rules is crucial, because disability pathways can undermine retirement-age reforms.
With coordinated policy, average retirement ages could rise by 1–4 years over coming decades.
4. Health and long-term care costs grow mainly with proximity to death, not chronological age
Using Finnish microdata, the authors show:
21–49% of healthcare costs and 27–75% of long-term-care costs are driven by the last years of life.
This means that aging populations do not automatically produce unsustainable cost explosions.
Policies that manage late-life disability and service intensity matter more than raw population aging.
This finding dramatically weakens the “aging → inevitable skyrocketing costs” assumption.
5. Fiscal sustainability depends almost entirely on whether working lives increase
The OLG model yields striking results:
If working lives do NOT lengthen, sustainability gaps grow significantly. Taxes would need to rise by 3–5 percentage points of GDP, even with proximity-to-death modeling.
With current retirement rules, longer lifespans still stress the system, but less severely.
With a full retirement-age reform linked to life expectancy, sustainability becomes essentially insensitive to longevity increases.
In other words: Extending work careers can fully offset longer lives — but only with policy support.
6. Worst-case scenarios occur when health costs are modeled naively
If one wrongly assumes that older people always consume more care just because of age (ignoring proximity to death):
Sustainability gaps increase sharply.
Public debt surges.
Taxes rise by many GDP points.
The authors emphasize that this naïve model is unrealistic, but serves to illustrate how policy misinterpretation of aging can lead to unnecessary alarm.
🧭 Overall Conclusion
The paper’s central message is optimistic but conditional:
Yes — longer lifetimes can be financially sustainable.
But only if societies simultaneously extend working lives.
This requires:
linking retirement ages to life expectancy
reforming disability and early-retirement pathways
recognizing that healthcare costs relate to dying, not simply aging
continual monitoring and adaptive policy design
With correct policies, the same generations who enjoy longer lives can also pay for them, maintaining fiscal balance without burdening younger cohorts.
However, uncertainty remains large. Continuous data collection, improved forecasting, and evidence-based policy adjustments are essential....

1. Meaning of Productive Longevity
The brief de 1. Meaning of Productive Longevity
The brief defines productive longevity as the ability of older workers (generally 55+) to stay engaged in meaningful, productive economic activities—either as employees or entrepreneurs—while maintaining health, skills, and income security.
🌍 Why It Matters
The world is aging fast: by 2050, 1 in 6 people will be 65+, and 80% of them will live in low- and middle-income countries.
Aging increases dependency ratios, strains pensions and healthcare, and slows growth.
Many countries are “getting old before getting rich,” giving them little time to prepare.
Older workers' continued participation does not reduce jobs for youth—the “lump of labor fallacy.”
📊 Key Facts Highlighted
Older adults in poorer countries work more, often because they cannot afford to retire.
Women live longer but participate far less in paid work due to care burdens.
Many older workers are in the informal or self-employed sector, lacking training, financing, or protections.
Productivity of older workers does not necessarily decline—experience and emotional skills often compensate.
🔧 Three Major Categories of Policy Constraints & Solutions
The document provides a structured framework:
I. Supply-Side (Workers)
Barriers that stop older workers from working or being productive:
Mandatory retirement ages
High taxation on continued work
Poor health, chronic disease, stress
Outdated skills, low digital literacy
Internalized ageism (“I’m too old to learn”)
Lack of access to childcare/eldercare (especially for older women)
Limited access to credit and productive assets for older entrepreneurs
Solutions include:
Raising/flexibilizing retirement ages
Tax reforms to incentivize working longer
Affordable childcare & long-term care
Lifelong learning and adult-friendly training
Mental & physical health programs
Support for senior entrepreneurs (digital skills, microfinance, mentoring)
Community-based empowerment initiatives like Older People’s Associations
II. Demand-Side (Firms & Employers)
Barriers that stop employers from hiring or investing in older workers:
Seniority wages that increase with age
High social contributions
Employer ageism (“older workers can’t learn tech”)
Lack of age-inclusive employment practices
Underinvestment in worker training
Solutions include:
Performance-based wage systems
Reforming rigid labor regulations
Lowering payroll taxes in age-biased systems
Anti-ageism awareness campaigns
Incentives for firms to invest in training & ergonomic workplaces
Flexible work arrangements and phased retirement
III. Matching (Labor Market Services)
Older workers often cannot access:
Job matching services
Digital job platforms
Career counseling
Training suited to adult learning
Solutions include:
Age-inclusive employment services
Tailored job search support
Updated digital interfaces for older adults
Public-private partnerships to place older workers
📈 Five Major Takeaways
Evidence on what works in low-income countries is still limited—research gaps are huge.
Countries should adopt an aging lens across all policies.
Lifelong learning is critical but currently underdeveloped.
Productive longevity must start early in life through strong human capital investments.
Low-income countries must prioritize:
Raising productivity of informal older workers
Improving opportunities for women and youth
🏛️ What the World Bank Is Doing
Pension reform (retirement age, sustainability)
Childcare & long-term care system development
Lifelong learning system improvements
Limited efforts so far on employer-side or job-matching reforms
Diagnostics and advisory reports in many countries
New pilots such as the Chinese “time bank” for eldercare
Emphasis on creating cross-sectoral aging strategies
🚀 What the World Bank Could Do More
Collect better data (like Health & Retirement Surveys)
Support adult retraining and age-inclusive labor programs
Encourage employer investment in older workers
Promote community-based models for senior livelihoods
Provide aging-focused development policy financing (DPFs)
Integrate aging into agriculture, digital economy, and social protection reforms
🎯 Purpose of the Document
This brief serves as:
A policy roadmap
A diagnostic tool
A call for cross-sectoral action
An introduction to the emerging productive longevity agenda within the World Bank...

The Value of Health and Longevity emphasizes that The Value of Health and Longevity emphasizes that improvements in population health and increases in life expectancy generate substantial social and economic benefits. The document explains that health is not only a medical outcome but also a form of human capital that raises productivity, supports economic growth, and enhances overall quality of life. It highlights that gains in longevity—especially healthy longevity—are among the most valuable achievements for any society, often worth more than traditional economic growth alone.
The text underscores that better health allows individuals to live longer, work more years, accumulate knowledge, and engage more fully in social and economic activities. It also stresses that policies investing in prevention, healthcare access, science, and innovation yield long-term returns through reduced disease burden and extended healthy lifespan. By valuing both additional years of life and the improved quality of those years, the document argues that health advancements create widespread well-being, reduce inequality, and provide lasting benefits across generations.

Different cell types within the body exhibit substantial variation in the average time they live, ranging from days to the lifetime of the organism. The underlying mechanisms governing the diverse lifespan of different cell types are not well understood. To examine gene expression strategies that support the lifespan of different cell types within the human body, we obtained publicly available RNA-seq data sets and interrogated transcriptomes of 21 somatic cell types and tissues with reported cellular turnover, a bona fide estimate of lifespan, ranging from 2 days (monocytes) to a lifetime (neurons). Exceptionally long-lived neurons presented a gene expression profile of reduced protein metabolism, consistent with neuronal survival and similar to expression patterns induced by longevity interventions such as dietary restriction. Across different cell lineages, we identified a gene expression signature of human cell and tissue turnover. In particular, turnover showed a negative correlation with the energetically costly cell cycle and factors supporting genome stability, concomitant risk factors for aging-associated pathologies. In addition, the expression of p53 was negatively correlated with cellular turnover, suggesting that low p53 activity supports the longevity of post-mitotic cells with inherently low risk of developing cancer. Our results demonstrate the utility of comparative approaches in unveiling gene expression differences among cell lineages with diverse cell turnover within the same organism, providing insights into mechanisms that could regulate cell longevity.

INTRODUCTION Nature can achieve exceptional organismal longevity, 4100 years in the case of humans. However, there is substantial variation in ‘cellular lifespan’, which can be conceptualized as the turnover of individual cell lineages within an individual organism.1 Turnover is defined as a balance between cell proliferation and death that contributes to cell and tissue homeostasis.2 For example, the integrity of the heart and brain is largely maintained by cells with low turnover/long lifespan, while other organs and tissues, such as the outer layers of the skin and blood cells, rely on high cell turnover/short lifespan.3–5 Variation in cellular lifespan is also evident across lineages derived from the same germ layers formed during embryogenesis. For example, the ectoderm gives rise to both long-lived neurons4,6,7 and short-lived epidermal skin cells.8 Similarly, the mesoderm gives rise to long-lived skeletal muscle4 and heart muscle9 and short-lived monocytes,10,11 while the endoderm is the origin of long-lived thyrocytes (cells of the thyroid gland)12 and short-lived urinary bladder cells.13 How such diverse cell lineage lifespans are supported within a single organism is not clear, but it appears that differentiation shapes lineages through epigenetic changes to establish biological strategies that give rise to lifespans that support the best fitness for cells in their respective niche. As fitness is subject to trade-offs, different cell types will adjust their gene regulatory networks according to their lifespan. We are interested in gene expression signatures that support diverse biological strategies to achieve longevity. Prior work on species longevity can help inform strategies for tackling this research question. Species longevity is a product of evolution and is largely shaped by genetic and environmental factors.14 Comparative transcriptome
studies of long-lived and short-lived mammals, and analyses that examined the longevity trait across a large group of mammals (tissue-by-tissue surveys, focusing on brain, liver and kidney), have revealed candidate longevity-associated processes.15,16 They provide gene expression signatures of longevity across mammals and may inform on interventions that mimic these changes, thereby potentially extending lifespan. It then follows that, in principle, comparative analyses of different cell types and tissues of a single organism may similarly reveal lifespan-promoting genes and pathways. Such analyses across cell types would be conceptually similar, yet orthogonal, to the analysis across species. Publicly available transcriptome data sets (for example, RNA-seq) generated by consortia, such as the Human Protein Atlas (HPA),17 Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE),18 Functional Annotation Of Mammalian genome (FANTOM)19 and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project,20 are now available. They offer an opportunity to understand how gene expression programs are related to cellular turnover, as a proxy for cellular lifespan. Here we examined transcriptomes of 21 somatic cells and tissues to assess the utility of comparative gene expression methods for the identification of longevity-associated gene signatures.
RESULTS We interrogated publicly available transcriptomes (paired-end RNA-seq reads) of 21 human cell types and tissues, comprising 153 individual samples, with a mean age of 56 years (Table 1; details in Supplementary Table S1). Their turnover rates (an estimate of cell lifespan4) varied from 2 (monocytes) to 32,850 (neurons) days, with all three germ layers giving rise to both short-lived a...

This PDF is an economic research study examining h This PDF is an economic research study examining how increases in human life expectancy affect individual saving behavior, national savings patterns, and long-term macroeconomic outcomes. Using the life-cycle hypothesis of consumption and savings, the paper explains how longer lives reshape the way people plan financially across their lifespan—especially their decisions about working years, retirement timing, and wealth accumulation.
The core message:
As people live longer, they must save more and work longer to finance extended retirement years. Longer life expectancy increases both personal and national savings rates, reshaping economic behavior and policy.
📘 1. Purpose of the Study
The paper seeks to answer key questions:
How does increasing longevity affect savings behavior?
How do individuals adjust their consumption and work patterns across a longer life?
What happens to aggregate (national) savings when life expectancy rises?
Should retirement ages increase as people live longer?
What are the policy implications for pensions, taxation, and social insurance?
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
🧠 2. Core Idea: Life-Cycle Hypothesis
The study is built on the classic life-cycle model:
Young adults borrow or save little.
Middle-aged individuals work and accumulate savings.
Older people retire and spend their savings (“dissave”).
Longer life expectancy changes each phase.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
🔍 3. Main Economic Insights
⭐ A. Longer lives increase retirement duration
People spend more years in retirement relative to working years.
⭐ B. Individuals must save more
To maintain living standards, individuals must build larger retirement wealth.
⭐ C. National savings rise
If many individuals increase their savings simultaneously, aggregate savings in the economy also rise.
⭐ D. Consumption patterns change
People smooth consumption over additional years, reducing spending at younger ages.
⭐ E. Retirement age adjustments become necessary
Working longer becomes a rational adaptation to higher longevity.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
📈 4. Longevity, Work, and Retirement
As life expectancy rises:
The ratio of working years to retirement years becomes unbalanced.
Individuals face a choice:
Save much more, or
Work longer, or
Accept lower consumption in old age.
The paper argues that raising retirement ages is an economically efficient adjustment.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
💰 5. Impact on National Savings
The PDF explains how life expectancy affects the macroeconomy:
Increased individual savings → higher national savings
Higher savings → larger capital accumulation
Potential boost to economic growth
Changing dependency ratios influence fiscal policy
A key conclusion:
Longevity is a powerful determinant of national savings levels.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
📉 6. Risks and Challenges
Despite higher savings, longevity also creates challenges:
✔️ Pension system pressures
Public pensions become more expensive.
✔️ Risk of under-saving
Individuals often underestimate future needs.
✔️ Wealth inequality
Those with higher income save more and live longer, widening gaps.
✔️ Fiscal strain
Governments must fund longer retirements.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
🏛️ 7. Policy Implications
The study emphasizes that governments must adapt:
1️⃣ Encourage or mandate later retirement
Align retirement age with rising life expectancy.
2️⃣ Strengthen private savings
Tax incentives, retirement accounts, automatic enrollment.
3️⃣ Reform public pension systems
Ensure sustainability under longer lives.
4️⃣ Promote financial literacy
Help individuals plan effectively for longer lifespans.
LONGEVITY AND LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS
⭐ Overall Summary
This PDF provides a clear, rigorous analysis showing that rising life expectancy fundamentally alters savings behavior, requiring individuals to save more, work longer, and rethink lifetime financial planning. At the macro level, longevity increases national savings but also strains pension systems. Policymakers must redesign retirement structures, savings incentives, and social insurance programs to reflect the reality of longer lives....

“Towards a Longevity Dividend” is an economic rese “Towards a Longevity Dividend” is an economic research report from the International Longevity Centre–UK (ILC-UK) analyzing how rising life expectancy boosts productivity and economic output in developed countries. Using OECD data from 35 nations (1970–2015), the report provides robust statistical evidence that increases in life expectancy generate significant economic gains, improve workforce quality, and act as a powerful engine for long-term prosperity.
Towards_a_Longevity_dividend
The central message is clear:
Longer, healthier lives are not a financial burden—they are a major economic asset.
This is known as the “longevity dividend.”
Core Findings
1. Life Expectancy Strongly Raises Productivity
Across all models—GDP per hour worked, per worker, and per capita—life expectancy is the strongest and most consistent predictor of productivity growth.
Key results:
Higher life expectancy → higher output per worker
Higher life expectancy → higher output per hour
Higher life expectancy → higher GDP per capita
These findings remain robust even after controlling for:
youth dependency ratios
old-age dependency ratios
country-specific factors
time trends
endogeneity problems
Life expectancy is more influential than age structure itself in predicting productivity.
2. Life Expectancy Causes (not simply correlates with) Higher Output
Because life expectancy and productivity can influence each other, the report uses advanced econometric tools:
Instrumental variables (IV)
Long time lags (5, 10, 20-year lagged values)
Childhood vaccination rates (for DTP vaccines) as an external instrument
The positive effect of life expectancy on productivity remains statistically significant across all methods, confirming causality, not coincidence.
Towards_a_Longevity_dividend
3. Education Is the Main Mechanism Behind the Longevity Dividend
The report identifies education as the most important channel through which longer lives raise productivity.
Why?
If people expect to live longer, the return on education increases.
Families invest more in schooling.
Healthier children learn better.
A more educated workforce increases national productivity.
The study shows that rising life expectancy significantly increases tertiary-education attainment, far more reliably than it increases employment rates.
Towards_a_Longevity_dividend
4. Employment Effects Are Emerging but Historically Suppressed
The link between life expectancy and employment has been historically masked because:
Many countries encouraged early retirement (age 60–65 was standard).
Defined-benefit pensions incentivized workers to leave the workforce earlier.
Mandatory retirement ages kept healthy older adults out of the labor force.
Since the early 2000s, policy shifts—raising pension ages and ending early retirement incentives—have re-coupled life expectancy with employment.
Today, the evidence suggests that longer life expectancy can lead to extended working lives. For example:
Iceland shows 83% employment for ages 60–64, vs. 48.9% OECD average.
Towards_a_Longevity_dividend
Why Rising Life Expectancy Boosts the Economy
The report synthesizes economic theory to explain this effect:
1. Healthier workers are more productive
They work more efficiently, take fewer sick days, and stay productive longer.
2. Longer life increases the incentive to invest in education
If a child is expected to live to 80 instead of 40, the payoff of education is dramatically higher.
3. Parents choose fewer children
Longer life shifts resource allocation from “quantity” to “quality” of children, increasing human capital.
4. Longer lives increase savings and investment
Higher savings stimulate economic growth through capital accumulation.
Broader Implications
The report argues that:
Health spending should be seen as economic investment, not cost.
Raising life expectancy boosts tax revenues in the long run.
Countries ignoring health and longevity gains underestimate their economic potential.
This challenges public narratives that aging populations are purely an economic burden.
Conclusion
“Towards a Longevity Dividend” demonstrates that increasing life expectancy is a major economic opportunity. It raises productivity, strengthens human capital, and improves growth prospects across developed countries. The report urges policymakers to recognize that improving national health generates powerful fiscal and productivity benefits.
The overarching insight:
Healthy longevity is not just good for people it's good for economies.
It creates a true “longevity dividend.”...

📘 Universal Description (App-Friendly & Easy Explanation)
Ethical Aspects of Human Genome Research in Sports is a review article that explains the ethical, legal, and human rights issues related to using genetic research and genetic technologies in sports. It focuses on how genetics can affect athletic performance, talent identification, training, injury prevention, and performance enhancement, while also raising serious ethical concerns.
The document explains that genetics plays a role in athletic ability, but athletic success depends on many factors, including training, environment, effort, and opportunity. It emphasizes that no single gene can determine whether someone will become a successful athlete.
The paper discusses genetic testing in sports, including its possible benefits (personalized training, injury prevention, nutrition planning) and its limitations (low predictive accuracy, risk of misuse, and lack of scientific certainty for talent selection).
A major focus of the document is ethics. It highlights risks such as:
genetic discrimination
loss of privacy
pressure on athletes to undergo testing
unfair advantages in competition
creation of a “genetic underclass” of athletes
The article strongly addresses gene doping, which means using genetic technologies to enhance performance rather than treat disease. It explains why gene doping is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and how it threatens fairness, athlete health, and the integrity of sport.
The document also explains human rights and legal frameworks, especially in Europe. It refers to international agreements such as:
the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights
the Oviedo Convention (Human Rights and Biomedicine)
These frameworks protect human dignity, prohibit genetic discrimination, and restrict genetic modification for non-medical purposes.
Another key theme is informed consent and data protection. Athletes must voluntarily agree to genetic testing, understand risks and benefits, and have their genetic data kept private. The document warns about risks from direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies, including misuse of data and lack of proper counseling.
The paper concludes that while genetic research has potential benefits for health and training, it should not be used to select talent or enhance performance. Ethical oversight, strong laws, and international cooperation are essential to protect athletes and preserve fair competition.

This PDF is a highly influential scientific review This PDF is a highly influential scientific review (F1000Prime Reports, 2013) that summarizes the state of aging biology, explains why aging drives nearly all major diseases, and describes the conserved molecular pathways that regulate lifespan across species—from yeast to humans. Written by one of the world’s leading geroscientists, Matt Kaeberlein, the article outlines how modern research is moving toward the first real interventions to slow human aging and extend healthspan, the period of life free from disease and disability.
The central message:
👉 Aging is the biggest risk factor for all major chronic diseases, and slowing aging itself will produce far greater health benefits than treating individual diseases.
🔶 1. Why Aging Matters
Aging dramatically increases the risk of Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, and almost every other chronic illness.
The paper stresses:
Aging drives disease, not the other way around.
Treating one disease (e.g., cancer) extends life only a small amount.
Slowing aging itself would delay all age-related diseases simultaneously.
Longevity and aging
The concept of healthspan—living longer and healthier—is emphasized as the most important goal.
🔶 2. The Global Challenge of Aging
The paper notes that:
Lifespan has increased, but rate of aging has not slowed.
More people now live longer but spend many years in poor health.
This leads to the coming “silver tsunami”—huge social and economic pressure from an aging population.
Longevity and aging
Slowing aging could compress morbidity into a short period near the end of life.
🔶 3. The Molecular Biology of Aging
The article reviews key molecular aging theories and pathways:
⭐ The Free Radical Theory
Once popular, now considered insufficient to explain all aspects of aging.
⭐ Conserved Longevity Pathways
Research in yeast, worms, and flies uncovered hundreds of lifespan-extending gene mutations, revealing that:
Aging is biologically regulated
Insulin/IGF signaling and mTOR are highly conserved longevity pathways
Longevity and aging
These findings revolutionized the field and provided molecular targets for potential anti-aging therapies.
🔶 4. Model Organisms and Why They Matter
Because humans live too long for rapid experiments, scientists use:
yeast (S. cerevisiae)
worms (C. elegans)
flies (Drosophila)
mice
These systems revealed:
conserved genetic pathways
mechanisms that slow aging
targets for drugs and dietary interventions
Longevity and aging
🔶 5. Dietary Restriction (Calorie Restriction)
The most robust and universal intervention known to extend lifespan.
The article highlights:
Lifespan extension in yeast, worms, flies, mice, and monkeys
Food smell alone can reverse longevity benefits in flies and worms
Starting calorie restriction late in life still provides benefits
Longevity and aging
Mechanisms likely include:
reduced mTOR signaling
increased autophagy
improved mitochondrial function
better metabolic regulation
🔶 6. Rapamycin: A Drug That Extends Lifespan
Rapamycin inhibits mTOR, a central nutrient-sensing pathway.
It is the only compound besides dietary restriction proven to extend lifespan in:
yeast
worms
flies
mice
Key findings:
Rapamycin extends mouse lifespan even when started late in life (equivalent to age 60 in humans).
It delays a wide range of age-related declines.
Longevity and aging
This makes mTOR inhibition one of the most promising avenues for human anti-aging interventions.
🔶 7. Other Compounds (Mixed Evidence)
✔ Resveratrol
Initially promising in yeast and invertebrates, but:
does not extend lifespan in normal mice
may improve metabolic health, especially on high-fat diets
Longevity and aging
✔ Other compounds
Dozens are being tested in the NIA Interventions Testing Program.
🔶 8. Evidence in Humans
Although humans are difficult to study due to long lifespans, several lines of evidence suggest that conserved pathways also matter in humans:
✔ Dietary Restriction
Improves:
glucose homeostasis
blood pressure
heart and vascular function
body composition
Longevity and aging
✔ Primates
Rhesus monkey studies show:
reduced disease risk
improved healthspan
mixed results on lifespan due to differing study designs
✔ Genetics
Human longevity variants have been found, especially:
FOXO3A, associated with exceptional longevity across many populations
Longevity and aging
✔ mTOR in Humans
mTOR is implicated in:
cancer
diabetes
cardiovascular disease
kidney disease
Rapamycin is already used clinically and is being tested in >1,300 human trials.
Longevity and aging
🔶 9. The Future of Anti-Aging Interventions
The article concludes that:
Interventions to slow human aging are realistic and increasingly likely.
Slowing aging will reduce disease burden far more than treating diseases individually.
Challenges remain, especially differences in genetics and environment.
The next decade is expected to bring major breakthroughs.
“We’re not getting any younger,” the author notes—but science may soon change that.
⭐ Perfect One-Sentence Summary

1. Human Beings Are Biologically Wired for Social 1. Human Beings Are Biologically Wired for Social Connection
The paper emphasizes that social relationships are not optional—they are biological necessities, essential for survival and emotional well-being.
It describes how infants rely on caregivers for regulation, safety, and emotional stabilization, and how this early dependency forms the basis for later social competence.
2. The Separation Distress System (SDS)
A major topic is the neurobiological system activated when attachment figures become unavailable. The SDS produces predictable emotional and behavioral reactions:
protest
crying
searching
despair
eventual detachment
This system is presented as an evolutionary mechanism shared across mammalian species.
3. Development of Social and Emotional Skills
The document explains how humans develop:
empathy
cooperation
emotional regulation
communication
social understanding
These skills emerge through:
caregiver interactions
peer relationships
cultural guidance
brain maturation
The quality of early care profoundly shapes later social competence.
4. The Psychobiology of Social Behavior
The text identifies several brain systems that underlie social and emotional functioning:
attachment-bonding circuitry
caregiving systems
reward and motivation networks
stress-regulation pathways
These systems interact to produce the full range of human social motivation, from nurturing to cooperation to seeking closeness.
5. Lifespan Implications of Early Social Development
The paper shows how early relational experiences influence:
personality development
emotional resilience
vulnerability to stress
long-term relational patterns
mental health outcomes
Negative early experiences—loss, neglect, inconsistency—can lead to enduring difficulties in social and emotional functioning.
6. Cross-Species and Evolutionary Evidence
Drawing from animal studies, the paper demonstrates that:
attachment systems
separation responses
caregiving instincts
are deeply rooted in mammalian biology and therefore universal, not culturally constructed.
⭐ Overall Purpose of the PDF
To provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary explanation of:
how social relationships form,
how they regulate emotional life,
how the brain supports social behavior, and
how disruptions in connection alter the developmental path.
It argues that social connection is at the center of human development, influencing biological regulation, psychological health, and the entire lifespan.

⭐ How Long Is Long in Longevity?
By Jesús-Adriá ⭐ How Long Is Long in Longevity?
By Jesús-Adrián Álvarez (Society of Actuaries Research Institute, 2023)
This research paper explores a fundamental question: When does a “long life” truly begin? Instead of using arbitrary ages like 60 or 70 to define old age, the author argues for a more scientific and population-based approach.
The paper reviews how societies have historically defined old age—often tied to fixed ages such as military service ending at 60, tax exemptions at 70, or retirement systems set at fixed ages. These traditional definitions, the author shows, are arbitrary and outdated, especially because modern people often reach their 70s or 80s in good health.
⭐ Main Purpose of the Study
To propose a formal, data-based definition of when longevity begins—not based on chronological age, but on how many people in a population are still alive at a given point.
The study introduces survivorship ages (s-ages), which answer the question:
➡️ At what age is a certain percentage (s) of the population still alive?
⭐ Key Idea: Longevity Begins at the s-Age Where Only 37% of the Population Is Alive
Using demographic reasoning and mathematical survival models, the author shows:
The cumulative hazard (total mortality exposure) reaches a value of 1 at the point where 37% of the population is still alive.
This means that at x(0.37)—the age when 37% survive—people have lived “long enough” to be considered longevous.
So instead of calling someone old at 60 or 70, the paper defines the onset of longevity as:
➡️ The age at which only 37% of people remain alive.
This threshold also matches findings from:
evolutionary biology (post-Darwinian longevity),
reliability theory, and
mortality mathematics,
making it a strong, interdisciplinary definition.
⭐ Why 37%?
Because mathematically, it is the survival level where the population has experienced enough mortality to eliminate the average lifespan.
This corresponds to important demographic markers such as:
>the modal age at death (most common age of death),
>the threshold age of the lifetable entropy, and
>the point where mortality shifts into “old-age deaths.”
>Across Denmark, France, and the U.S., the study shows that this threshold has steadily moved upward over decades—showing that longevity is increasing, not fixed.
⭐ Comparison With Other Longevity Indicators
The study compares:
>Life expectancy
>Modal age at death
>Entropy threshold age
>s-age x(0.37)
All of these indicators:
>occur well above age 70,
>have risen over time,
>behave similarly across countries.
>This proves that longevity is dynamic, not a fixed age.
⭐ Key Conclusions
Fixed ages like 60 or 70 are meaningless for defining old age. They do not reflect modern survival patterns.
>Longevity should be defined relative to population survival, not birthdays.
>The age where 37% of the population survives is a scientifically meaningful starting point for longevity.
>Longevity is comparative it only makes sense when comparing individuals within a population.
The threshold for longevity is increasing over time, reflecting rising life spans.
⭐ Overall Meaning
This study redefines longevity using demographic science. Instead of saying “old age begins at 65,” the paper shows that the true beginning of a long life happens when someone has lived to an age that less than 40% of their peers reach. This shifts the understanding of ageing away from tradition and toward empirical reality, offering a modern, flexible way to measure old age....

Consensus Recommendation to Immediately Expand Res Consensus Recommendation to Immediately Expand Research on Extending Healthy Human Lifespans
For millennia, the consensus of the general public has been that aging is inevitable. For most of our history, even getting to old age was a significant accomplishment – and while centenarians have been around at least since the time of the Greeks, aging was never of major interest to medicine.
That has changed. Longevity medicine has entered the mainstream. First, evidence accumulated that lifestyle modifications prevent chronic diseases of aging and extend healthspan, the healthy and highly functional period of life. More recently, longevity research has made great progress – aging has been found to be malleable and hundreds of interventional strategies have been identified that extend lifespan and healthspan in animal models. Human clinical studies are underway, and already early results suggest that the biological age of an individual is modifiable.
A concerted effort has been made in the longevity field to institutionalize the word “healthspan”. Why healthspan (how long we stay healthy) and not its side-effect of lifespan (how long we live)? The reasons are linked more to perception than reality. Fundamental to this need to highlight healthspan is the idea that individuals get when they are asked if they want to live longer. Many imagine their parents or grandparents at the end of their lives when they often have major health issues and low quality of life. Then they conclude that they would not choose to live longer in that condition. This is counter to longevity research findings, which show that it is possible to intervene in late middle life and extend both healthspan and lifespan simultaneously. Emphasizing healthspan also reduces concerns of some individuals about whether it is ethical to live longer.
A drawback of this exists, though: many current longevity interventions may extend healthspan more than lifespan. Lifestyle interventions such as exercise probably fit this mold. Many interventions that have dramatic health-extending effects in invertebrate models have more modest effects in mice, and there is a concern that they will be further reduced in humans. In other words, the drugs and small molecules that we are excited about today may, despite their hefty development costs and lengthy approval processes, only extend average healthspan by five or ten years and may not extend maximum lifespan at all. Make no mistake, this would still represent a revolution in medical practice! A five-year extension in human healthspan, with equitable access for all people, would save trillions per year in healthcare costs, provide extra life quality across the entire population ...

This document provides a comprehensive examination This document provides a comprehensive examination of longevity risk transfer (LRT) markets, focusing on how pension funds, insurers, reinsurers, banks, and capital markets handle the risk that retirees live longer than expected. Longevity risk affects the financial sustainability of defined benefit (DB) pension plans and annuity providers, with even a one-year underestimation of life expectancy costing hundreds of billions globally.
The report explains the main risk-transfer instruments—buy-outs, buy-ins, longevity swaps, and longevity bonds—detailing how each shifts longevity and investment risk between pension plans and financial institutions. It highlights why the UK historically dominated LRT markets and analyzes emerging large transactions in the US and Europe.
It explores drivers of LRT growth (such as corporate de-risking, regulatory capital relief, and hedging opportunities for insurers) and impediments including regulatory inconsistencies, selection bias (“lemons” risk), basis risk in index-based hedges, limited investor appetite, and insufficient granular mortality data.
The document also assesses risk management challenges, such as counterparty risk, collateral demands in swap transactions, rollover risk, and opacity from multi-layered risk-transfer chains. It draws potential parallels to pre-2008 credit-risk transfer markets and warns of future systemic risks, especially if longevity shocks (e.g., breakthrough medical advances) overwhelm counterparties like insurers or banks.
Finally, the report presents policy recommendations for supervisors and policymakers: improving cross-sector coordination, strengthening risk measurement standards, increasing transparency, enhancing mortality data, ensuring institutions can withstand longevity shocks, and monitoring the growing interconnectedness created by LRT markets....

“Longevity Diet” is a concise, practical guide tha “Longevity Diet” is a concise, practical guide that outlines how specific dietary substitutions and eating patterns can support healthier aging, extend lifespan, and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The document promotes a nutrient-dense, low-inflammation way of eating that emphasizes whole foods, plant-forward choices, and strategic replacements for common staples that accelerate aging.
The guide presents a clear set of food swaps designed to improve metabolic health, reduce oxidative stress, and support a stronger, longer-living body. It recommends replacing refined starches—such as bread, pasta, and white rice—with vegetables, legumes, mushrooms, and whole grains like quinoa. Red and processed meats are minimized in favor of fatty fish (like salmon, mackerel, sardines), white meat, eggs, tofu, or mushrooms. High-fat spreads and dressings are replaced with extra-virgin olive oil and other healthy fats, while processed sugars and excessive salt are swapped for herbs, spices, and “Lite Salt.”
The document encourages replacing cow’s milk with plant-based alternatives such as coconut, hemp, or pea milk. Beverages like soda and commercial fruit juice are substituted with water, tea, herbal teas, or moderate coffee intake. Snacks high in sugar are replaced with fruit, natural sweeteners, or high-cocoa dark chocolate.
It also emphasizes using targeted nutritional supplements—such as B vitamins, iodine, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, and magnesium—to address common micronutrient gaps. Specialized “longevity supplements,” such as those formulated to counteract cellular aging, are listed as complementary options.
The centerpiece of the document is the “10 Simple Rules of the Longevity Diet,” which provide deeper guidance: eat fewer refined starches, limit red meat, hydrate well, favor whole ingredients (30+ per week), maintain moderate protein intake, eat slightly less than full to promote metabolic health, include fermented foods, minimize alcohol, and avoid nutrient deficiencies.
Overall, the Longevity Diet promotes a style of eating that is diverse, minimally processed, rich in phytonutrients and healthy fats, and aligned with scientific insights into metabolic health, the gut microbiome, inflammation, and biological aging....

“Grandmothers and the Evolution of Human Longevity “Grandmothers and the Evolution of Human Longevity”**
This PDF is a scholarly research article that presents and explains the Grandmother Hypothesis—one of the most influential evolutionary theories for why humans live so long after reproduction. The paper argues that human longevity evolved largely because ancestral grandmothers played a crucial role in helping raise their grandchildren, thereby increasing family survival and passing on genes that favored longer life.
The article combines anthropology, evolutionary biology, and demographic modeling to show that grandmothering behavior dramatically enhanced reproductive success and survival in early human societies, creating evolutionary pressure for extended lifespan.
👵 1. Core Idea: The Grandmother Hypothesis
The central argument is:
Human females live long past menopause because grandmothers helped feed, protect, and support their grandchildren, allowing mothers to reproduce more frequently.
This cooperative childcare increased survival rates and promoted the evolution of long life, especially among women.
Healthy Ageing
🧬 2. Evolutionary Background
The article explains key evolutionary facts:
Humans are unique among primates because females experience decades of post-reproductive life.
In other great apes, females rarely outlive their fertility.
Human children are unusually dependent for many years; mothers benefit greatly from help.
Grandmothers filled this gap, making longevity advantageous in evolutionary terms.
Healthy Ageing
🍂 3. Why Grandmothers Increased Survival
The study shows how ancestral grandmothers:
⭐ Provided extra food
Especially gathered foods like tubers and plant resources.
⭐ Allowed mothers to wean earlier
Mothers could have more babies sooner, increasing reproductive success.
⭐ Improved child survival
Grandmother assistance reduced infant and child mortality.
⭐ Increased group resilience
More caregivers meant better protection and food access.
These survival advantages favored genes that supported prolonged life.
Healthy Ageing
📊 4. Mathematical & Demographic Modeling
The PDF includes modeling to demonstrate:
How grandmother involvement changes fertility patterns
How increased juvenile survival leads to higher population growth
How longevity becomes advantageous over generations
Models show that adding grandmother support significantly increases life expectancy in evolutionary simulations.
Healthy Ageing
👶 5. Human Childhood and Weaning
Human children:
Develop slowly
Need long-term nutritional and social support
Rely on help beyond their mother
Early weaning—made possible by grandmother help—creates shorter birth intervals, boosting the reproductive output of mothers and promoting genetic selection for long-lived helpers (grandmothers).
Healthy Ageing
🧠 6. Implications for Human Evolution
The article argues that grandmothering helped shape:
✔ Human social structure
Cooperative families and multigenerational groups.
✔ Human biology
Long lifespan, menopause, slower childhood development.
✔ Human culture
Shared caregiving, food-sharing traditions, teaching, and cooperation.
Healthy Ageing
Grandmothers became essential to early human success.
🧓 7. Menopause and Post-Reproductive Lifespan
One major question in evolution is: Why does menopause exist?
The article explains that:
Natural selection usually favors continued reproduction.
But in humans, the benefits of supporting grandchildren outweigh late-life reproduction.
This shift created evolutionary support for long post-reproductive life.
Healthy Ageing
⭐ Overall Summary
This PDF provides a clear and compelling explanation of how grandmothering behavior shaped human evolution, helping produce our unusually long life spans. It argues that grandmothers increased survival, supported early weaning, and boosted reproduction in early humans, leading natural selection to favor individuals—especially females—who lived well past their reproductive years. The article blends anthropology, biology, and mathematical modeling to show that the evolution of human longevity is inseparable from the evolutionary importance of grandmothers....

This PDF is a technical, actuarial, and policy-foc This PDF is a technical, actuarial, and policy-focused analysis of how rising life expectancy and uncertainty in future mortality trends affect pension systems. It explains why traditional assumptions about longevity are no longer reliable, how mortality improvements have changed over time, and what new risks and financial pressures this creates for defined-benefit pension schemes, insurers, and governments.
The core message:
People are living longer than expected — and the uncertainty around future longevity improvements is one of the biggest financial risks for pension schemes. Understanding and managing this risk is essential for long-term solvency.
📘 Purpose of the Document
The paper aims to:
Analyze historical and projected trends in mortality and longevity
Explain the uncertainties in estimating future life expectancy
Assess the financial consequences for pension plans
Evaluate actuarial models used for death-rate forecasting
Recommend strategies for managing longevity risk
It serves as a guide for trustees, actuaries, regulators, and anyone involved in pension provision.
📈 1. Mortality Trends Are Changing — and They Are Uncertain
The document reviews:
Historical increases in life expectancy
How mortality improvements vary by age
How longevity improvements slowed or accelerated at different periods
The inconsistent nature of long-term mortality trends
It emphasizes that past trends cannot reliably predict future longevity because mortality dynamics are complex and influenced by:
Medical advances
Social and lifestyle changes
Economic conditions
Public health interventions
Longevity Trends, uncertainty a…
🧮 2. Why Pension Schemes Are Highly Exposed to Longevity Risk
In defined-benefit (DB) schemes:
Payments last as long as members live
If members live longer, liabilities increase dramatically
Even small errors in life expectancy forecasts can cost millions
Longer lifespans mean:
Higher pension payouts
Larger reserve requirements
Increased funding pressures
Greater contribution demands on employers
Longevity Trends, uncertainty a…
The report shows that longevity risk is systematic, meaning it affects all members, and cannot be diversified away.
🔍 3. Key Sources of Longevity Uncertainty
The PDF identifies major drivers of uncertainty in mortality projections:
A. Medical breakthroughs
Sudden improvements (e.g., statins, cancer therapies) can significantly increase life expectancy.
B. Lifestyle and behavioral changes
Smoking rates, exercise patterns, diet, and obesity trends all shift mortality outcomes.
C. Economic conditions
Recessions, unemployment, and poverty can slow or reverse longevity improvements.
D. Cohort effects
Different generations exhibit different mortality profiles.
E. Data limitations
Short time series or inconsistent measurements reduce forecasting accuracy.
Longevity Trends, uncertainty a…
📊 4. Mortality Forecasting Models and Their Weaknesses
The document reviews commonly used actuarial models, such as:
Lee–Carter model
Cohort-based models
P-splines and smoothing methods
Stochastic mortality models
Key problems highlighted:
Many models underestimate uncertainty
Some ignore cohort effects

This PDF is a landmark research article published This PDF is a landmark research article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (2002), presenting one of the most influential findings in modern aging science:
👉 How people think about their own aging significantly predicts how long they will live.
The paper demonstrates that positive self-perceptions of aging—how positively individuals view their own aging process—are associated with longer lifespan, even after controlling for physical health, age, gender, socioeconomic status, loneliness, and other factors. The study follows participants for 23 years, making it one of the most robust longitudinal analyses in this field.
Its revolutionary insight is that mindset is not just a psychological variable—it is a measurable longevity factor.
🔶 1. Purpose of the Study
The authors aimed to:
Examine whether internalized attitudes toward aging affect actual survival
Move beyond stereotypes about “positive thinking” and instead test a rigorous scientific hypothesis
Analyze perceptions of aging as an independent predictor of mortality
Longevity Increased by Positive…
The study is grounded in stereotype embodiment theory, which suggests that cultural beliefs about aging gradually become internalized, eventually shaping health and behavior.
🔶 2. Methodology
The study followed 660 participants from the Ohio Longitudinal Study of Aging and Retirement, tracking:
Their self-perceptions of aging in midlife
Their physical health
Mortality data over the next 23 years
Key variables measured:
Self-perceptions of aging
Functional health
Socioeconomic status
Age, gender
Loneliness and social support
Longevity Increased by Positive…
The researchers used Cox proportional hazards models to test whether aging attitudes predicted survival.
🔶 3. Key Findings
⭐ A) Positive aging perceptions predict longer life
Participants with more positive views of their own aging lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those with negative aging perceptions.
Longevity Increased by Positive…
This effect remained strong even after adjusting for:
health status
baseline age
gender
socioeconomic factors
loneliness
multiple health conditions
⭐ B) The effect is stronger than many medical predictors
The study notes that the impact of positive aging perceptions on lifespan is:
greater than the effect of lowering blood pressure
greater than the effect of lowering cholesterol
comparable to major lifestyle interventions
Longevity Increased by Positive…
This elevates self-perception from psychology into a biological risk/protective factor.
⭐ C) Negative aging stereotypes damage longevity
Participants who viewed aging as:
decline
social loss
inevitable disability
were significantly more likely to die earlier during the 23-year follow-up.
Longevity Increased by Positive…
Internalized negative beliefs appear to elevate stress, diminish motivation, reduce healthy behaviors, and increase physiological vulnerability.
🔶 4. Theoretical Contribution: Stereotype Embodiment Theory
The authors propose that:
Cultural stereotypes about aging are absorbed over a lifetime
These perceptions become self-beliefs in midlife
These beliefs influence physiology, stress response, and behavior
Longevity Increased by Positive…
In this framework, aging self-perceptions act as a psychosocial biological mechanism affecting inflammation, stress hormones, and engagement in healthy activities.
🔶 5. Why This Study Is Important
This article is considered a foundational study in the psychology of aging because:
It shows that mindset is a measurable determinant of survival
It suggests that policy, media, and culture may indirectly shape population longevity through aging stereotypes
It has influenced global healthy aging initiatives, including age-friendly media campaigns
The research shifted the field by demonstrating that longevity is not only medical or genetic; it is also psychological and social.
⭐ Perfect One-Sentence Summary
This study shows that people who hold more positive beliefs about their own aging live significantly longer—on average by 7.5 years—revealing that mindset and internalized age attitudes are powerful, independent predictors of longevity....

“The Role of Polyamines in Protein-Dependent Hypox “The Role of Polyamines in Protein-Dependent Hypoxic Tolerance of Drosophila” is a research article that investigates why dietary proteins and amino acids drastically reduce survival under chronic low-oxygen conditions (hypoxia), using Drosophila melanogaster as the model organism. The study reveals a surprising and biologically important mechanism linking amino acids, polyamines, and hypoxic stress tolerance.
Core Finding
Under chronic hypoxia (5% oxygen), even small amounts of dietary protein dramatically shorten the lifespan of adult flies. This effect is not seen under normal oxygen. The researchers discovered that this life-shortening effect is driven by:
Amino acids themselves
Their metabolic intermediates (L-ornithine, L-citrulline)
Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine)
Every natural amino acid tested decreased fly survival under hypoxia, even at low millimolar concentrations.
The role of polyamines in prote…
Why proteins become toxic in hypoxia
The study shows that chronic hypoxia unmasks a harmful effect of amino acid metabolism:
Amino acids feed into the polyamine synthesis pathway.
Polyamines, in turn, promote hypusination of eIF5A, a unique post-translational modification required for the active form of this protein.
Both polyamines and eIF5A hypusination are shown to reduce hypoxic tolerance and shorten lifespan.
The role of polyamines in prote…
Thus, amino acids → polyamines → eIF5A hypusination → reduced hypoxic survival.
Pharmacological evidence
Two inhibitors were used to dissect the mechanism:
DFMO, an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (the first enzyme in polyamine synthesis), partially protected hypoxic flies from amino-acid toxicity but had no effect against polyamines themselves. This shows that polyamines are downstream of amino acids.
The role of polyamines in prote…
GC7, a potent inhibitor of eIF5A hypusination, partially rescued flies from both amino-acid- and polyamine-induced death. This demonstrates that eIF5A activation is a key step linking amino acids to reduced hypoxic tolerance.
The role of polyamines in prote…
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α/Sima)
The authors investigated whether the classic hypoxia-response pathway played a role. They found:
Chronic hypoxia did not activate strong HIF-1α signalling in adult flies.
Loss-of-function mutants for sima (Drosophila HIF-1α) still showed the same amino-acid toxicity.
The role of polyamines in prote…
Thus, the mechanism is independent of HIF-1α, and represents a separate amino-acid sensing pathway.
Broader biological significance
The study provides strong evidence that:
Low-protein diets dramatically improve hypoxic tolerance, while proteins—through amino acids and polyamines—make tissues more vulnerable during oxygen shortage.
These mechanisms likely have parallels in mammals, where polyamine levels rise in ischemic conditions (stroke, myocardial infarction).
The role of polyamines in prote…
This suggests potential therapeutic strategies: targeting polyamine synthesis or eIF5A hypusination to improve survival under ischemic or hypoxic stress.
Conclusion
The paper identifies a previously unknown mechanism by which dietary amino acids reduce survival under chronic hypoxia. The key pathway is:
Amino acids → polyamine synthesis → eIF5A hypusination → reduced hypoxic tolerance
This mechanism explains why low-protein diets increase hypoxic survival and opens possibilities for treatments against hypoxia-related diseases....

Longevity Compensation (Regulation 5.05) is the of Longevity Compensation (Regulation 5.05) is the official Michigan Civil Service Commission (MCSC) regulation governing eligibility, creditable service, payment calculations, and administrative rules for annual longevity payments to career state employees. The regulation, effective October 1, 2025, replaces earlier versions and establishes the authoritative framework for how longevity compensation is earned and administered in Michigan’s classified service.
The regulation defines longevity pay as an annual payment provided each October 1 to employees who have accrued the equivalent of five or more years (10,400 hours) of continuous full-time classified service, including certain credits granted under CSC rules. Employees with breaks in service may still qualify based on total accumulated hours once they again complete five years of continuous service.
1. Eligibility Framework
Career Employees
A career employee becomes eligible for the first longevity payment by completing:
10,400 hours of current continuous full-time service
Including qualifying service credit from prior state employment, legislative service, judicial service, or certain exempted/excepted appointments (if re-entry occurs within 28 days)
Military Service Credit
New career employees may receive up to five years of additional credit for honorable active-duty U.S. military service if documentation is submitted within 90 days of hire. The regulation specifies:
Accepted documents (DD-214, NGB-22 with Character of Service field)
What qualifies as active duty
Rules for computing hours (2,080 per year; 174 per month; 5.8 per day)
How previously granted military credit is carried between “current” and “prior” service counters
Reserve service does not qualify unless it includes basic training or other active-duty periods shown on official records.
Leaves and Service Interruptions
Paid leave earns full longevity credit.
Workers’ compensation leave is credited per Regulation 5.13.
Unpaid leave does not earn credit but also does not break service.
Employees returning after separation receive full credit for all prior service hours once a new block of 10,400 continuous hours is completed.
2. Longevity Payment Schedule
Longevity pay is provided annually based on total accumulated full-time service:
Years of Full-Time Service Required Hours Annual Payment
5–8 years 10,400 hrs $265
9–12 years 18,720 hrs $360
13–16 years 27,040 hrs $740
17–20 years 35,360 hrs $960
21–24 years 43,680 hrs $1,220
25–28 years 52,000 hrs $1,580
29+ years 60,320 hrs $2,080
(Amounts and formatting reproduced directly from the regulation’s table.)
No employee may receive more than one annual longevity payment within any 12-month period, except in cases allowed under retirement or death provisions.
3. Payment Rules and Timing
Initial Payment
Awarded once the employee reaches 10,400 hours before October 1.
Always paid as a full payment, not prorated.
Annual Payments
Full payment requires 2,080 hours in pay status during the longevity year.
Employees with fewer than 2,080 hours receive a prorated amount.
Lost Time
Lost time does not count toward continuous service or the annual qualifying hours.
Employees cannot receive credit for more than 80 hours per biweekly period.
Paid overtime cannot offset lost time unless both occur in the same pay period.
Employees on Leave October 1
Employees on waived-rights leave receive prorated payments upon return.
Those on other unpaid leaves or layoffs receive prorated payments based on hours in pay status during the previous fiscal year.
Retirement or Death
Employees with at least 10,400 hours of continuous service receive a terminal longevity payment, either:
A full initial payment (if none has been paid during the current service period), or
A prorated payment for the part of the fiscal year worked.
4. Administrative and Contact Information
The regulation concludes with contact details for the MCSC Compensation division for questions or clarifications regarding service credit, documentation, or payments.
Overall Summary
This regulation provides a clear, legally precise, and procedurally detailed structure for awarding longevity compensation to Michigan state employees. It outlines:
Who qualifies
Which service types count
How military service is credited
How breaks and leaves affect eligibility
Exact payment levels
Rules for retirement, separation, and death
As the authoritative compensation rule for Michigan’s classified workforce, Regulation 5.05 ensures consistent, transparent, and equitable administration of longevity payments across all state departments.

Period life expectancy at birth [life expecta
Period life expectancy at birth [life expectancy thereafter] is the most-frequently used indicator
of mortality conditions. More broadly, life expectancy is commonly taken as a marker of human
progress, for instance in aggregate indices such as the Human Development Index (United
Nations Development Programme 2020). The United Nations (UN) regularly updates and makes
available life expectancy estimates for every country, various country aggregates and the world
for every year since 1950 (Gerland, Raftery, Ševčíková et al. 2014), providing a 70-year
benchmark for assessing the direction and magnitude of mortality changes....

This document is a comprehensive research paper th This document is a comprehensive research paper that examines how the variance of longevity (variation in age at death) has changed across different population groups in the United States over the past several decades. Rather than focusing only on life expectancy, it highlights how unpredictable lifespan is, which is crucial for retirement planning and the value of lifetime income products like annuities.
🔎 Main Purpose of the Study
The core purpose is to analyze:
How lifespan variation has changed from the 1970s to 2019
How differences vary across race, gender, and socioeconomic status (education level)
How changes in lifespan variability influence the economic value of annuities
The authors focus heavily on the implications for retirement planning, longevity risk, and financial security.
🔍 Populations Analyzed
The study evaluates five major groups:
General U.S. population
Annuitants (people who purchase annuities)
White—high education
White—low education
Black—high education
Black—low education
All groups are analyzed separately for men and women, and conditional on survival to ages 50, 62, 67, and 70.
📈 Key Findings (Perfect Summary)
1. Population-level variance has remained stable since the 1970s
Even though life expectancy increased, the spread of ages at death (standard deviation) remained mostly unchanged for the general population.
2. SES and racial disparities in lifespan variation remain large
Black and lower-education individuals have consistently greater lifespan variation.
They face higher risks of both premature death and very late death.
This inequality captures an important dimension of social and economic disadvantage.
3. Different groups show different trends (2000–2019)
Variance increased for almost all groups
→ especially high-education Black and low-education White individuals.
Exception: Low-education Black males
→ They showed a substantial decrease in variability mostly due to reduced premature mortality.
4. Annuitants have less lifespan variation at age 50
Those who purchase annuities tend to be healthier, wealthier, and show less lifespan uncertainty.
However, by age 67, the difference in variation between annuitants and the general population nearly disappears.
💰 Economic Insights: Impact on Annuity Value
Using a lifecycle model, the study calculates wealth equivalence — how much additional wealth a person would need to compensate for losing access to a fair annuity.
Key insight:
Even though longevity variance increased, the value of annuities actually declined over time.
Why?
Because life expectancy increased, delaying mortality credits to older ages — lowering annuity value in economic terms.
Quantitative Findings
A one-year increase in standard deviation → raises annuity value by 6.8% of initial wealth.
A one-year increase in life expectancy → reduces annuity value by 3.1%.
From 2000–2019:
General population saw only a 1.3–2.0% increase in annuity value due to rising variance.
By group:
High-education Black males: +13.6%
Low-education Black males: –6.1%
🔬 Methodology
The study uses:
SSA cohort life tables for the general population
Mortality estimates using NVSS & ACS data for race-education groups
Annuity mortality tables (1971 IAM, 1983 IAM, 2000, 2012 IAM) for annuitants
Lifespan variation measured using standard deviation of age at death (Sx)
Wealth equivalence is computed using a CRRA utility model with full annuitization and actuarially fair payouts.
🧠 Why This Matters
Lifespan uncertainty directly affects:
✔ Retirement planning
✔ Optimal savings behavior
✔ Need for annuities or guaranteed lifetime income
✔ Social welfare policy
Groups with higher lifespan uncertainty benefit more from annuities.
The study’s results emphasize:
Persistent inequalities in mortality patterns
The importance of accessible lifetime income options
The role of policy in addressing retirement security
📌 Perfect One-Sentence Summary
The document shows that while life expectancy has risen, the variance of longevity has remained stable overall but diverged notably across racial and socioeconomic groups, significantly influencing the economic value and importance of annuities in retirement planning.

This PDF is a scientific study examining how adult This PDF is a scientific study examining how adult diet affects female longevity (lifespan) and reproductive capacity (egg production) in an insect species. The research focuses on understanding how nutritional quality after adulthood influences:
how long females live,
how many eggs they produce, and
how diet shapes the trade-off between survival and reproduction.
The study is part of entomological (insect biology) research and has direct relevance to pest management, ecological modeling, and understanding insect life-history evolution.
📌 Main Objective of the Study
To determine how different adult food sources influence:
Female lifespan
Reproductive output (number of eggs laid)
The timing of reproduction
The balance between survival and reproductive investment
The researchers test whether richer diets increase reproduction at the cost of shorter life—or extend lifespan by improving physiological condition.
🧪 Method Overview
Females were provided different types of adult food, such as:
Carbohydrate-rich diets
Protein-rich diets
Natural food sources (like host plant materials or prey)
Control diets (minimal or no nutrition)
The study measured:
Lifespan (in days)
Pre-oviposition period (time before starting to lay eggs)
Lifetime fecundity (total eggs produced)
Daily egg-laying rate
Survival curves under different diets
🐞 Key Scientific Findings
1. Adult diet has a major impact on female lifespan
Nutrient-rich food significantly increases longevity.
Females deprived of proper adult food show rapid mortality.
2. Reproductive capacity strongly depends on adult nutrition
Well-fed females lay more eggs overall.
Poor diets reduce or completely suppress egg production.
3. There is a diet-driven trade-off between lifespan and reproduction
Some diets maximize egg production but shorten lifespan.
Other diets increase longevity but reduce reproductive output.
Balanced diets support both survival and reproduction.
4. The timing of reproduction shifts with diet
Nutrient-rich females begin egg-laying earlier.
Poorly nourished females delay reproduction—or cannot reproduce at all.
5. Physiological mechanisms
The study suggests that improved adult diet enhances:
Ovary development
Energy allocation to egg maturation
Overall metabolic health
🌱 Biological & Practical Importance
The results show that adult nutrition is a critical determinant of:
Female insect population growth
Pest resurgence potential
Biological control success
Evolution of life-history traits
In applied entomology, understanding these relationships helps predict:
Population dynamics
Reproduction cycles
Control strategy effectiveness
🧾 Overall Conclusion
The PDF concludes that adult food quality strongly influences both survival and reproductive performance in female insects.
Better nutrition leads to:
✔ longer lifespan
✔ higher reproductive capacity
✔ earlier reproduction
✔ stronger fitness overall
The study demonstrates that adult-stage diet is just as important as juvenile diet in shaping insect life-history strategies....

This research article examines an important parado This research article examines an important paradox in modern public health: as medical treatments improve and more people survive serious diseases, overall life expectancy may increase more slowly. The paper focuses on Sweden (1994–2016) and studies five major diseases—myocardial infarction, stroke, hip fracture, colon cancer, and breast cancer—to understand how survival improvements and rising disease prevalence interact to shape national life expectancy.
Using complete Swedish population-register data, the authors show that medical advances have significantly improved survival after major diseases. However, because these survivors still have higher long-term mortality than people who never had the disease, the growing number of long-term survivors can partly offset the gains in national life expectancy.
This phenomenon is described as a possible “failure of success”: the success of better treatments creates a larger population living with chronic after-effects, which slows overall mortality improvement.
⭐ MAIN FINDINGS
⭐ 1. Survival Improved Dramatically—Especially for Heart Attacks & Stroke
From 1994 to 2016:
Survival after myocardial infarction and stroke improved the most.
These two diseases produced the largest contributions to increased life expectancy.
Most gains came from improved short-term survival (first 3 years after diagnosis).
The rise in the number
Hip fractures, colon cancer, and breast cancer contributed much less to life expectancy growth.
⭐ 2. BUT… More People Than Ever Are Living With Disease Histories
Because fewer patients die immediately after diagnosis:
“Distant cases” (long-term survivors) increased sharply across all diseases.
The proportion of disease-free older adults decreased.
Survivors carry higher mortality risks for the rest of their lives.
This means the composition of the older population has shifted toward people with chronic disease histories who live longer—but still die sooner than people who never had the disease.
⭐ 3. Growing Disease Prevalence Slows Life Expectancy Gains
Even though survival is better, the higher number of survivors creates a population with:
more chronic illness
more long-term complications
higher late-life mortality
For several diseases, this negatively affected national life expectancy trends:
For stroke, improved survival was almost completely cancelled out by rising prevalence of long-term survivors.
For breast cancer, the benefit of improved survival was nearly halved by the increasing number of survivors.
Colon cancer and hip fracture survivors also contributed small negative effects.
The rise in the number
⭐ 4. Myocardial Infarction Is the Main Driver of Life Expectancy Growth
For men:
Improved survival after heart attacks contributed 1.61 years to the national life expectancy gain (≈49%).
For women:
It contributed 0.93 years (≈48%).
The rise in the number
This made heart-attack treatment improvements the single largest contributor to Sweden’s longevity gains during the study period.
⭐ 5. The Key Mechanism
The study shows national life expectancy changes depend on two forces:
A. Improved survival after disease → increases life expectancy
B. Growing number of long-term survivors with higher mortality → slows life expectancy
When (B) becomes large enough, it reduces the effect of (A).
⭐ OVERALL CONCLUSION
The article concludes that:
Medical progress has greatly improved survival after major diseases.
But because survivors remain at higher mortality risk, their increasing numbers partially slow national life expectancy gains.
This effect is small but significant—and will become more important as populations age and survival continues improving.
Failure to consider population composition may lead to misinterpreting life expectancy trends.
Prevention of disease (reducing new cases) is just as important as improving survival.
This study provides a new demographic insight:
➡️ Long-term survivors improve individual lives but can slow national-level longevity trends....

This article explores a major and surprising findi This article explores a major and surprising finding in epidemiology: intelligence measured in childhood strongly predicts health outcomes and longevity decades later, even after accounting for socioeconomic status (SES). Children with higher IQ scores tend to live longer, experience fewer major diseases, adopt healthier behaviors, and manage chronic conditions more effectively as adults.
The paper reviews evidence from landmark population studies—especially the Scottish Mental Survey of 1932 (SMS1932) and its long-term follow-ups—and investigates why intelligence is so strongly linked to health.
🔍 Key Evidence
1. Childhood IQ robustly predicts adult mortality and morbidity
Across large epidemiological datasets:
Every additional IQ point reduced risk of death in Australian veterans by 1%.
Lower childhood IQ was associated with significantly higher rates of:
cardiovascular disease
lung cancer
stomach cancer
accidents (especially motor vehicle deaths)
A 15-point lower IQ (1 SD) at age 11 reduced the chance of living to age 76 to 79%, with stronger effects in women.
2. These results persist after adjusting for SES
Even after controlling for:
adult social class
income
occupational status
area deprivation
…the IQ–health link remains strong, implying intelligence explains more than just social privilege.
3. IQ influences health behaviors
The paper shows that intelligence predicts:
better nutrition and fitness
lower obesity
lower rates of heavy drinking
not starting smoking in early 20th century Scotland (when risks were unknown),
but higher intelligence strongly predicted quitting once health risks became known.
🧠 Why Might Intelligence Predict Longevity?
The authors outline four possible explanatory mechanisms:
(A) IQ as an “archaeological record” of early health
Childhood intelligence may reflect prenatal and early-life biological integrity, which also influences adult disease risk.
(B) IQ as an indicator of overall bodily integrity
Better oxidative stress defenses, healthier physiology, or more robust biological systems might underlie both higher IQ and longer life.
(C) IQ as a tool for effective health self-care (the article’s main focus)
Health management is cognitively demanding. People must:
interpret information
navigate complex instructions
monitor symptoms
adhere to treatments
Higher intelligence improves reasoning, judgment, learning, and the ability to handle the complexity of modern medical regimens.
The paper cites striking evidence:
26% of hospital patients could not read an appointment slip
42% could not interpret instructions such as taking medicine on an empty stomach
People with low health literacy have:
more illnesses
worse disease control
higher hospitalization rates
higher overall mortality
(D) IQ shapes life choices and environments
Higher intelligence tends to lead to:
safer occupations
healthier environments
better access to information
lower exposure to hazards
📌 Core Insight
The strongest conclusion is that intelligence itself is a significant independent factor in health and survival, not just a by-product of socioeconomic status. Cognitive ability helps individuals perform the “job” of managing their health—avoiding risks, understanding medical guidance, solving daily health-related problems, and adhering to treatments.
🏁 Conclusion
The article argues that public health strategies must consider differences in cognitive ability. Many aspects of medical self-care cannot be simplified without losing effectiveness, so healthcare systems need to better support people who struggle with complex health tasks. Understanding the role of intelligence may help reduce medical non-adherence, chronic disease complications, and health inequalities....

The document is a formal technical comment letter The document is a formal technical comment letter submitted by the American Academy of Actuaries’ C-2 Longevity Risk Work Group to the NAIC Longevity Risk (A/E) Subgroup on December 21, 2021. It provides actuarial analysis and recommendations regarding the treatment of longevity reinsurance within NAIC’s developing capital and reserving framework—specifically as it relates to the proposed VM-22 principle-based reserving (PBR) requirements for fixed annuities.
Purpose of the Letter
The Academy responds to NAIC’s request for input on how longevity reinsurance contracts should be incorporated into:
C-2 Longevity capital requirements
VM-22 reserve calculations
The broader Life Risk-Based Capital (LRBC) framework
The objective is to ensure consistent, risk-appropriate treatment of longevity reinsurance as its market expands.
Key Points and Insights
1. Longevity reinsurance now explicitly falls within VM-22’s scope
The draft VM-22 includes longevity reinsurance in its product definition, meaning:
The reinsurer assumes longevity risk linked to periodic annuity payments.
Premiums from direct writers are spread over time.
Contracts may use net settlement (one-way periodic payments).
This inclusion enables a straightforward approach for capital calculations.
2. Reserve aggregation under VM-22 may simplify capital treatment
The Academy notes that aggregating longevity reinsurance with other annuity products:
Allows the existing C-2 capital factors to remain applicable.
May produce counterintuitive but appropriate results—e.g., longevity reinsurance can reduce total reserves if future premiums exceed benefit obligations.
A numerical illustration in the letter shows how aggregation can lower the combined reserve relative to stand-alone immediate annuity reserves.
3. Calibrating a new factor for reinsurance is currently not possible
The Academy explains that:
The 2018 field study, which calibrated current C-2 Longevity factors, lacked enough longevity reinsurance data.
Therefore, no reinsurance-specific factor can be developed yet.
It is reasonable to assume reinsurance longevity risk is similar to that of the underlying annuity liabilities.
4. Capital treatment for pre-2024 reinsurance contracts remains unresolved
Because VM-22 applies only to contracts issued after January 1, 2024, existing longevity reinsurance treaties could require:
Different reserving methods
A revised capital approach
This issue affects fewer companies but still requires regulatory attention.
5. Two possible future capital approaches are outlined
If VM-22 aggregation is not adopted (or if pre-2024 treaties use different reserving rules), NAIC may consider:
A) Keep the current C-2 factor applied to the present value of benefits.
Simple and consistent with existing RBC practice
But may conflict with Total Asset Requirement (TAR) principles
B) Develop an adjusted capital factor for longevity reinsurance.
More precise but complex
Hard to calibrate consistently across different treaty structures
6. Longevity reinsurance differs from life insurance in ways relevant to capital design
Key distinctions include:
Longevity reinsurance premiums are contractual obligations, often collateralized.
Under a longevity “shock,” premiums continue whereas in life insurance, a death event ends the need to pay premiums.
These differences may justify including gross premiums in reserves or capital calculations.
7. Ceded longevity risk must also be properly recognized
The letter recommends clarifying RBC rules so that:
Longevity risk transferred via reinsurance
Is reflected in the C-2 calculation
Similar to existing adjustments for modified coinsurance (Modco) reserves
Overall Purpose and Contribution
The letter provides actuarial expertise to help NAIC:
Integrate longevity reinsurance into the C-2 Longevity capital framework
Align reserves and capital with the economic reality of longevity risk transfer
Maintain consistency across new and legacy contracts
Avoid regulatory gaps as the longevity reinsurance market grows
The Academy expresses strong support for VM-22’s direction and offers to continue collaborating as NAIC finalizes its approach.
If you'd like, I can create:
📌 a simplified one-page summary
📌 a presentation-style briefing
📌 a comparison of all longevity-risk documents you provided
📌 an integrated cross-document meta-summary

“Productive Longevity: What Can the World Bank Do “Productive Longevity: What Can the World Bank Do to Foster Longer and More Productive Working Lives?” is a comprehensive World Bank report that examines how countries—especially low- and middle-income countries (L/MICs)—can adapt to rapidly aging populations by enabling older adults to remain productive, healthy, and economically active for longer.
The report explains that as fertility declines and life expectancy rises, countries face increasing fiscal pressure from pensions, health care, and long-term care. To counter these challenges, governments must find ways to extend productive working lives and boost the productivity of people aged 55+, both as employees and entrepreneurs.
It outlines why productive longevity matters: older workers represent a large and growing labor resource, and evidence shows that engaging older adults does not reduce opportunities for younger workers. Instead, healthy and active aging can support economic growth, reduce dependency ratios, and strengthen pension sustainability.
Using a structured framework, the report identifies key constraints—on the supply side (e.g., early retirement rules, limited training, poor health), the demand side (e.g., ageism, seniority-based wages, lack of employer investment), and job matching (e.g., services not tailored to older workers). It then shows what policy tools can address these barriers: pension and labor regulatory reforms, lifelong learning systems, flexible work arrangements, age-inclusive workplaces, investments in health, improved childcare and eldercare services, entrepreneurship support for older adults, and targeted employment services.
The report highlights major gaps in evidence—especially in L/MICs—and calls for stronger diagnostics, new data systems, and pilot programs to understand what truly works. It also reviews current World Bank activities and suggests how the Bank can mainstream an “aging lens” across sectors such as social protection, labor markets, health, education, agriculture, and technology.
Overall, the document argues that productive longevity is essential for sustaining growth and well-being in an aging world, and that the World Bank can play a central role by supporting countries to build policies and systems that help people stay healthy, skilled, and economically active throughout their lives....

This PDF is a scholarly Health Policy paper that p This PDF is a scholarly Health Policy paper that presents a powerful argument for shifting global thinking from an “ageing society” to a “longevity society.” Written by Professor Andrew J. Scott, it explains that humanity is entering a new demographic stage where people are not just living longer but are gaining more years of life at every age, which fundamentally transforms work, education, healthcare, social norms, and intergenerational relationships.
The core message:
We must stop viewing population ageing as a burden and instead redesign society to fully benefit from longer, healthier lives — focusing on prevention, healthy ageing, life-course investment, and new social structures that support longer futures.
📘 1. Ageing Society vs. Longevity Society
Ageing Society
Focuses on population structure
More older people, fewer younger people
Leads to concerns about dependency ratios, pensions, and healthcare burden
Longevity Society
Focuses on how we age, not just how many old people exist
Views longer life as an opportunity
Requires new norms, new policies, new life designs
Emphasizes healthy ageing, not just ageing
The shift is necessary because life expectancy gains now occur mainly at older ages, making longevity a transformative force in modern life.
Longevity society
📈 2. The Demographic Transformation
Using France as an example:
In 1900, only 35% of newborns lived to 65
In 2018, 88% survived to 65
The modal age of death increased from infancy (early 1900s) to 89 years (today)
Globally:
Population aged 65+ will rise from 9.3% in 2020 to 22.6% in 2100
This reflects an unprecedented demographic and epidemiological transition.
Longevity society
🧠 3. Why a Longevity Society Matters
Longevity brings:
✔️ Positive outcomes
More healthy years of life
Later onset of disease
Higher employment of older adults
More time for education, relationships, purpose, contribution
Opportunity to redesign life for a longer future
❌ But also risks
More years lived with illness
Rising healthcare and pension costs
Inequalities in ageing
Increased chronic disease burden
Social tensions between generations
Ageism and outdated norms
Scott argues that understanding both sides is essential for effective policy.
Longevity society
👤 4. Individual Implications of Longer Lives
A longevity society profoundly changes the individual life course:
A. More Future Time
People must prepare for longer futures:
Invest more in education
Build long-term careers
Save more financially
Maintain health earlier and more intentionally
B. Age Malleability
Age is no longer fixed — how we age can be changed.
Healthy habits, environment, and prevention matter more than ever.
C. Multi-stage Life
The traditional 3-stage model (education → work → retirement) no longer fits.
Future lives will include:
Multiple careers
Lifelong learning
Periods of rest, reskilling, care, entrepreneurship
Flexible transitions
D. Greater Individual Responsibility
Because norms are changing, individuals must experiment with new life designs and prepare for long-term paths.
Longevity society
🏥 5. Health Sector Implications
To support a longevity society, healthcare must undergo major transformation.
A. From Intervention to Prevention
Only 2.8% of health spending goes to prevention — this must dramatically increase.
B. Reduce Comorbidities
Healthy life expectancy must be improved by:
Slowing accumulation of chronic diseases
Reducing inequality
Providing early-life and midlife interventions
C. Build Longevity Councils
Governments need cross-departmental coordination to address:
Housing
Transport
Education
Environment
Social policy
D. Invest in Geroscience
The paper calls for major research investment into:
Biology of ageing
Senolytics
Age-delaying therapies
Biomarkers of biological age
Longevity society
🌍 6. Social Implications
A. Replace Chronological Age with Biological Age
Chronological age is outdated and ignores:
Health differences
Age diversity
Malleability of ageing
Biological age metrics are needed for better policy.
B. Fight Ageism
Ageism blocks opportunities for older adults and harms intergenerational harmony.
C. Rethink Intergenerational Relations
Younger generations now have a high chance of becoming old themselves.
Policies must:
Support the young (who will be the future old)
Avoid favoring current older populations unfairly
Encourage intergenerational mixing
D. New Social Norms
As longevity rises, society must rethink:
Education timelines
Marriage and fertility patterns
Work-life balance
Retirement timing
The 21st century will create new social stages of life just as the 20th century created “teenage” and “retirement.”
Longevity society
🧩 7. The Paper’s Key Conclusion
A longevity society requires:
A new social contract
A prevention-focused health system
Lifelong learning
Anti-ageism policies
Support for multi-stage careers
Cross-government coordination
Redesigning institutions for long life
Embracing the opportunity of extra years
Humanity is entering a new era where the goal is not just to live longer — but to live better, healthier, more productive, and more meaningful long lives....

This PDF is a theoretical and economic analysis th This PDF is a theoretical and economic analysis that examines how life expectancy influences human capital investment—particularly education, skill acquisition, and long-term personal development. The central purpose of the paper is to explain why people invest more in education and training when they expect to live longer, and how improvements in survival rates reshape economic behavior, societal development, and intergenerational outcomes.
The core message:
Longer life expectancy increases the returns to human capital, incentivizes individuals to acquire more education and skills, and plays a crucial role in shaping economic growth and income distribution.
🎓 1. Purpose and Motivation
The paper addresses key questions:
Why do individuals invest more in education when life expectancy rises?
How does increased longevity affect economic growth?
How do survival improvements change intergenerational human capital transmission?
What are the broader implications for inequality and development?
It links demography with economics, showing that human capital decisions depend heavily on expected lifespan.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
🧠 2. Core Theoretical Insight
Human capital investment—like education or training—has upfront costs but produces returns over time.
If people expect to live longer:
They enjoy returns for more years
They have more incentive to invest
They delay retirement
They allocate more time to schooling in youth
They acquire training even in mid-life
Thus, longer life expectancy raises the value of human capital.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
👶 3. The Overlapping Generations Framework
The paper uses an OLG (Overlapping Generations) model, where:
Parents invest in children
Children become productive adults
Longer life expectancy changes optimal investments
Key mechanisms:
⭐ Higher expected lifespan → higher returns on education
Parents allocate more resources toward schooling.
⭐ Children attend school longer
Their lifetime earnings potential increases.
⭐ Economy accumulates more knowledge
Driving long-run growth.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
📈 4. Empirical and Theoretical Implications
✔ More schooling
Increased life expectancy correlates with more years of formal education.
✔ Higher productivity
A more educated workforce boosts national growth.
✔ Lower fertility
Parents invest more per child as education becomes more valuable.
✔ Intergenerational impact
Educated parents pass on higher human capital to children.
✔ Economic development pathway
Longevity is a key driver in the transition from low- to high-income economies.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
⚠️ 5. Inequality and Distributional Effects
The document also examines how life expectancy interacts with economic inequality:
Higher-income families invest more in children, widening gaps.
Unequal improvements in survival can reinforce inequality.
Policy interventions may be required to equalize educational opportunity.
The overall conclusion:
Longevity-driven human capital growth can either reduce or increase inequality depending on policy design.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
🧩 6. Policy Implications
⭐ Support for early-life education
Because returns amplify over longer lifespans.
⭐ Investments in public health
Better health → higher life expectancy → higher human capital.
⭐ Incentives for lifelong learning
Especially in aging societies.
⭐ Reduce barriers to education
To avoid inequality expansion.
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND HUMAN CAPIT…
⭐ Overall Summary
This PDF explains that life expectancy is a powerful determinant of human capital investment. Longer lives increase the payoff from education, encourage skill acquisition, and promote economic growth through a more productive workforce. However, if survival and educational opportunities are unevenly distributed, inequality may rise. The paper provides a strong theoretical foundation for understanding why healthier, longer-living societies tend to be more educated and more economically advanced....

This PDF is a research-focused philosophical and b This PDF is a research-focused philosophical and behavioral economics article that explores how human time preferences—especially patience, delayed gratification, and long-term thinking—change as people live longer. The paper argues that increasing human longevity fundamentally alters how individuals value the future, make decisions, and plan their lives. It combines ideas from economics, psychology, philosophy, and life-course theory to explain why longer lives create greater incentives for patience, investment, and future-oriented behavior.
The core message:
As lifespan increases, people become more future-focused: they save more, invest more, learn more, take better care of their health, and design longer, more complex life plans. Longer lives naturally produce more patience.
🧠 1. Purpose of the Paper
The document investigates:
How rising life expectancy affects patience
How individuals value future rewards vs. present rewards
What longer lives mean for behavior, choices, and well-being
How public policy should adapt to longer time horizons
It reframes longevity not as an end-of-life concern, but as a psychological and economic force shaping every stage of life.
Longevity and Patience
⏳ 2. The Link Between Longevity and Patience
The paper argues that individuals with longer expected lifespans:
Have more future years to benefit from long-term investments
Are more willing to delay gratification
Display greater self-control
Are more likely to invest in education, careers, relationships, and health
Are less impulsive because the future matters more
This connection is grounded in classic economic models of time discounting:
If you expect a longer future, you discount future rewards less.
Longevity and Patience
🧮 3. Economic Theory of Time Preference
The document draws on economic concepts such as:
Exponential and hyperbolic discounting
Intertemporal choice models
Life-cycle consumption theory
Rational planning vs. short-term bias
It explains that longer lives increase the value of delayed returns, making patience a rational response.
Longevity and Patience
📘 4. The Multi-Stage Life and Its Impacts
Longer lives lead to new life patterns:
✔️ More time for education
People invest earlier to benefit longer.
✔️ Longer careers with multiple transitions
Mid-life reskilling becomes valuable because individuals have decades left to use new skills.
✔️ Greater saving and investment
Longer retirements require more financial planning.
✔️ Health maintenance becomes more important
The payoff of healthy habits becomes much larger across a longer lifespan.
✔️ Long-term relationships and family planning shift
Longer life opens new possibilities for family structure, caregiving, and social bonds.
Longevity and Patience
🧬 5. Psychological Dimensions of Patience
The paper highlights that patience is shaped by:
Life expectancy perceptions
Self-control
Long-term optimism
Cultural expectations
Stability and security
People who foresee a long future behave differently than those who expect shorter lives. Longevity creates a future-oriented mindset, encouraging deferred rewards and sustained effort.
Longevity and Patience
🌍 6. Broader Social and Policy Implications
The document argues that longevity requires rethinking key systems:
⭐ Education
Funding for lifelong learning and adult education.
⭐ Work
Flexible, multi-stage careers and mid-life retraining.
⭐ Health
Shift from treatment to long-term prevention.
⭐ Finance
New retirement models, savings tools, and social insurance designs.
⭐ Social norms
New expectations around age, productivity, and personal development.
Longevity and Patience
Governments should support structures that reward long-term behaviors across all ages.
🧩 7. Key Concept: Life-Time Returns Increase with Longevity
A central insight of the paper is:
The value of investing in the future increases as the future expands.
Longer life → bigger payoff from patience → more incentive to behave patiently.
Examples:
Education pays back over more years
Healthy lifestyle protects more decades
Savings compound for longer
Relationships and skills gain more value
Longevity and Patience
⭐ Overall Summary
“Longevity and Patience” is a rigorous analytical paper demonstrating that longer lifespans fundamentally change human behavior. Increased longevity makes people more future-oriented, increases the value of patient decision-making, and reshapes how individuals plan their education, work, health, and finances. The paper argues that societies must update institutions to support this new “long-life mindset,” where patience becomes a core asset and a powerful driver of prosperity and well-being...

“Signs of Life Guidance – Visual Summary (v1.2)” i “Signs of Life Guidance – Visual Summary (v1.2)” is a clear, compassionate, UK-wide clinical guideline that explains how to determine and document signs of life following spontaneous birth before 24+0 weeks, in situations where—after careful discussion with the parents—active survival-focused neonatal care is not appropriate. The guidance ensures consistent, respectful, and trauma-minimizing care for both babies and parents during extremely preterm births.
Purpose of the Guidance
To help clinicians:
Recognize genuine signs of life
Communicate sensitively with parents
Provide appropriate comfort and palliative care
Ensure correct legal documentation of birth and death
Deliver consistent bereavement support across the UK
Determining Signs of Life
A baby is classified as liveborn if any of the following visible, persistent signs are present:
clearly visible heartbeat
visible cord pulsation
breathing, crying, or sustained gasps
definite limb movement
The guidance emphasizes:
Fleeting reflexes (brief gasps, twitches, or chest wall pulsations in the first minute) do not count as signs of life.
Parents’ own observations should be respectfully included.
A stethoscope is not required.
After Live Birth
A doctor (usually the obstetrician) should confirm and document signs of life to avoid legal complications with the death certificate.
A doctor may rely on a midwife’s documented observations.
The baby receives perinatal palliative comfort care, and the family’s emotional and physical needs are actively supported.
Communication With Parents
Sensitive communication is emphasized to reduce trauma:
Parents are prepared that babies born before 24 weeks often do not survive.
Parents are informed that reflex movements do not necessarily indicate life.
Language preferences must be respected—some parents prefer “loss of baby,” others prefer “end of pregnancy” or “miscarriage.”
Bereavement Care (All Births)
All families should receive:
A parent-led bereavement plan
Privacy, choices, and time with their baby
Memory-making opportunities
Information on burial/cremation/sensitive disposal
Referral to support services and community care
Guidelines reference the National Bereavement Care Pathway for consistent care across the UK.
Documentation Requirements
Depends on region and whether signs of life were witnessed:
Before 24+0 weeks: No legal requirement for birth registration; offer a sensitive “certificate of loss” or “certificate of birth.”
If liveborn and later dies: A neonatal death certificate must be issued by a doctor who witnessed signs of life.
If no doctor witnessed it, the case must be referred to the coroner in England/Wales/NI.
Scope of the Guidance
Included:
Spontaneous in-hospital births <22+0 weeks
Spontaneous births at 22+0 to 23+6 weeks when survival-focused care is not appropriate
Pre-hospital births <22+0 weeks (same principles)
Excluded:
>Medical terminations
>Uncertain gestational age
>Births at 22–23+6 weeks where active neonatal care is planned or considered...

This IFRS Interpretations Committee staff paper ex This IFRS Interpretations Committee staff paper examines how longevity swaps—contracts that transfer the risk of pension members living longer than expected—should be accounted for within defined benefit pension plans under IAS 19 Employee Benefits. Longevity swaps require the pension plan to make fixed payments while receiving variable payments linked to actual benefit payments to retirees.
The central question is whether these swaps should be:
Measured at fair value as plan assets (View 1), or
Split into a variable “insurance-like” leg and a fixed “premium” leg (View 2), with each measured differently.
View 1: Measure as Plan Assets at Fair Value
Supporters of View 1 argue that the swap is a single derivative contract and should follow the standard IAS 19 treatment of plan assets. They point to IAS 19 paragraphs 8 and 113, and IFRS 13, which require fair value measurement. Paragraph 142 also lists longevity swaps as examples of derivatives that can form part of plan assets. Under this view, the swap is initially recorded at zero (as swaps are usually entered at market value) and remeasured at fair value each period, with changes recorded in other comprehensive income.
View 2: Split the Swap Into Two Legs
Supporters of View 2 argue the swap functions like buying a qualifying insurance policy—except the premium is paid over time. They propose splitting it into:
Variable leg (treated like a qualifying insurance policy under IAS 19.115), measured as the present value of the matching obligations.
Fixed leg (representing premiums), treated either as part of plan assets at fair value or as a financial liability measured at amortized cost.
They also debate how to treat the difference between the variable and fixed legs at inception—either as a profit/loss or as part of remeasurements in OCI.
Findings from Global Outreach
The IFRS staff surveyed standard-setters, regulators, accounting firms, and pension specialists across multiple jurisdictions. They found that:
Longevity swaps are not yet widespread, though more common in the UK.
In jurisdictions where they occur, View 1 is the overwhelmingly predominant practice.
There is minimal diversity in accounting treatment.
Several respondents questioned whether longevity swaps could qualify as insurance contracts (suggesting View 2 lacked a strong basis).
Committee Recommendation
Because longevity swaps are uncommon and existing practice already aligns closely with fair value measurement under IAS 19 and IFRS 13, the Committee concluded that no new interpretation is needed. The issue was not added to the IFRIC agenda, as current guidance is considered sufficient to prevent diversity in practice.

This article is a comprehensive scientific review This article is a comprehensive scientific review explaining how intermittent fasting (IF) and periodic fasting (PF) affect metabolism, cellular stress resistance, aging, and chronic disease risk. It synthesizes animal studies, human trials, and mechanistic biology to show that structured fasting is a powerful biological signal that recalibrates energy pathways, activates repair systems, and promotes long-term resilience.
🧠 1. What Fasting Does to the Body (Core Biological Mechanisms)
Switch from glucose to ketones
After several hours of fasting, the body shifts from glucose metabolism to fat-derived ketone bodies, allowing organs—especially the brain—to use energy more efficiently.
lifespan and longevity
Activation of cellular repair pathways
Fasting triggers:
Autophagy (cellular clean-up)
DNA repair
Stress-response proteins
These protect cells from oxidation, inflammation, and molecular damage.
lifespan and longevity
Reduced inflammation & oxidative stress
Inflammatory markers drop globally, enhancing resistance to many chronic diseases.

The world appears increasingly fragmented, but one universal reality connects us all – ageing. Across the world, people are living longer than past generations, in some cases by up to 20 years. This longevity shift, coupled with declining birth rates, is reshaping economies, workforces and financial systems, with profound implications for individuals, businesses and governments alike.
As countries transform, the systems that underpin them must also evolve. Today’s reality includes a widening gap between healthspan and lifespan, the emergence of a multigenerational workforce with five generations working side by side, and the need for stronger intergenerational collaboration.
One of the most important topics to consider during this demographic transition is the economic implications of longer lives. This paper highlights five key trends that will influence and shape the financial resilience of institutions, governments
and individuals in the years ahead. It also showcases innovative solutions that are already being implemented by countries, businesses and organizations to prepare for the future.
While the challenges are significant, they also present an opportunity to develop systems that are more inclusive, equitable, resilient and sustainable for the long term. This is a chance to strengthen pension systems and social protections, not only for those who have traditionally benefited, but also for those who were left out of social contracts the first time.
We are grateful to our multistake holder consortium of leaders across business, the public sector, civil society and academia for their contributions, inputs and collaboration on this report. We look forward to seeing how others will continue to build on these innovative ideas to future-proof the longevity economy for a brighter and more ...

“Optimal Aging & Keys to Longevity” is a short “Optimal Aging & Keys to Longevity” is a short, practical guide written by Dr. Robert S. Tan, a geriatrician and gerontologist, summarizing the essential habits and biological factors that promote longer, healthier lives. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and conversations with centenarians, the document explains that while genetics play a role, lifestyle choices—especially diet, exercise, emotional well-being, and avoidance of harmful behaviors—are the most powerful determinants of longevity.
The guide emphasizes small, moderate food intake, highlighting research showing that calorie restriction can extend lifespan. It warns against excessive salt, sugar, and processed foods, recommending fresh, antioxidant-rich foods such as fish, vegetables, green tea, almonds, olives, and red wine in moderation.
Dr. Tan stresses that exercise is one of the strongest anti-aging tools, capable of restoring declining hormones and maintaining muscle, strength, and bone density as people age.
He also notes that happiness, strong social connections, mental activity, and a purposeful life are all linked to living longer, likely due to beneficial hormonal and neurological effects.
The document identifies smoking as one of the most damaging behaviors—shortening life, increasing disease risk, and even causing genetic harm passed to future generations. It concludes by acknowledging that genetics set limits on lifespan, but healthy habits from early in life allow individuals to reach their full biological potential....

“Mortality and Longevity: A Risk Management Perspe “Mortality and Longevity: A Risk Management Perspective”**
This PDF is a research chapter that examines mortality and longevity through the lens of risk management, particularly focusing on how insurance companies, pension funds, and governments measure, manage, and respond to the financial risks created by changing mortality patterns and increasing life expectancy. It combines demographic analysis, actuarial science, economics, and risk-transfer mechanisms to explain why longevity is one of the most significant financial risks of the 21st century.
The core message:
Falling mortality and rising longevity create large, long-term financial risks—and risk management tools are essential for sustainable pensions, insurance systems, and public finances.
📘 Purpose of the Chapter
The chapter aims to:
Explain mortality and longevity as quantitative risks
Explore causes of uncertainty in life expectancy predictions
Show how longevity affects pensions, annuities, and insurance
Discuss risk-transfer and hedging tools (e.g., longevity bonds, swaps)
Evaluate forecasting models and the limits of prediction
Provide a framework for managing longevity risk at institutional and national levels
It positions longevity risk as a major concern for aging societies.
🧠 Core Themes and Key Insights
1. Mortality and Longevity Are Risk Events
Death rates change over time due to:
Medical breakthroughs
Public health interventions
Lifestyle improvements
Pandemics (e.g., COVID-19)
Environmental exposures
These shifts create uncertainty for insurers and pension managers who must make long-term commitments.
2. Longevity Risk: People Live Longer Than Expected
Longevity risk occurs when:
Actual survival rates exceed forecasts
People claim pensions and annuities for more years
Retirement systems face funding shortfalls
Even small reductions in mortality can create large financial liabilities.
3. Mortality Risk: People Die Earlier Than Expected
Mortality risk matters for:
Life insurance payouts
Health systems
National demographic planning
Pandemics, disasters, or rising chronic disease can shift mortality patterns abruptly.
4. Why Mortality Forecasts Are Uncertain
The chapter explains key sources of uncertainty:
Epidemiological surprises
Social and behavioral change
Medical innovation
Environmental shocks
Cohort effects
Structural breaks (e.g., opioid crisis, pandemics)
Because of these factors, mortality forecasting is probabilistic, not deterministic.
5. How Mortality Is Modeled
The PDF outlines major models used in actuarial science:
Stochastic mortality models (e.g., Lee–Carter)
Cohort-based models
Multi-factor mortality models
Survival curves and hazard rates
Stress-testing approaches
The chapter also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each method.
6. Longevity Risk in Pensions and Annuities
The text describes how rising life expectancy affects:
Defined benefit pension plans
Public pension systems
Private annuity providers
Key issues include:
Underfunding
Mispricing
Increased liabilities
Long-term sustainability challenges
Longevity risk is especially critical where populations are aging rapidly.
7. Tools for Managing and Transferring Longevity Risk
The chapter examines modern financial tools designed to hedge risk:
A. Longevity swaps
Transfer longevity risk from pension funds to reinsurers.
B. Longevity bonds
Securities whose payments depend on survival rates of a population.
C. Reinsurance
Sharing mortality and longevity exposures with global reinsurers.
D. Capital-market instruments
Mortality-linked derivatives, q-forwards, etc.
The chapter explains pricing principles, benefits, and limitations.
8. Policy and Regulatory Implications
Governments face:
Rising pension costs
Uncertainty about retirement age policy
Challenges to social security systems
Need for improved health and long-term care planning
Better mortality forecasting is vital for:
Public finance planning
Social insurance design
Intergenerational equity
9. Pandemics and Mortality Risk
The PDF highlights pandemics (including COVID-19) as major mortality shocks:
They temporarily reverse longevity gains
They increase volatility in mortality models
They highlight the need for robust scenario-based risk management
⭐ Overall Summary
“Mortality and Longevity: A Risk Management Perspective” provides a comprehensive framework for understanding mortality and longevity as financial risks. It explains why predicting life expectancy is uncertain, how longevity risk threatens pension and insurance systems, and what tools can be used to manage and transfer these risks. The chapter concludes that effective risk management is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of retirement systems in aging societies....

Lancet Healthy Longevity article (Dec 2022) presen Lancet Healthy Longevity article (Dec 2022) presenting a bold global vision called the Quantum Healthy Longevity Innovation Mission. It outlines how humanity can achieve longer, healthier lives using advanced science, prevention-centered healthcare, environmental awareness, and transformative technologies.
The article begins by highlighting a paradox:
Although lifespans are increasing in many places, life expectancy is stagnating or falling in over 50 countries, including the UK and USA. This decline is driven by socioeconomic inequality, unhealthy lifestyles, chronic diseases, and the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK population spends about 20% of life in poor health and shows massive gaps between rich and poor in healthy life expectancy. This is harming economic productivity and societal resilience.

“Longevity and Occupational Choice” is an economic “Longevity and Occupational Choice” is an economic research paper that examines how increasing life expectancy changes the jobs people choose, the skills they invest in, and the way labor markets evolve over time. As people live longer and healthier lives, their working years expand, and this reshapes their incentives for education, training, job-switching, and saving.
The paper explains that longer lifespans increase the value of human capital investment—because people have more years to benefit from the skills they acquire. As a result, >individuals facing longer expected lives tend to choose occupations that:
>require more training,
>offer higher long-term returns, and
>involve cognitive skills rather than purely physical labor.
Longevity therefore shifts the workforce toward professions such as management, technology, medicine, and education, and away from physically demanding jobs like manual labor, which become harder to maintain in older age.
⭐ Main Ideas of the Paper
1. Longer Lives Increase the Incentive to Invest in Education
When people expect to live—and work—longer, the payoff from acquiring skills increases. More years of working life allow individuals to recover the cost of education and training.
2. Occupational Choices Shift Toward High-Skilled Jobs
Because cognitive occupations remain productive even in later adulthood, they become more attractive when longevity rises.
Physically demanding jobs become less appealing because:
>productivity declines earlier
>health deterioration affects physical work more
>longer careers make physically taxing jobs harder to sustain
3. Longevity Magnifies Life-Cycle Differences Across Occupations
The paper explains that:
>Some occupations have steeper wage growth over time
>Some rely heavily on early-life training
>Some decline sharply in productivity with age
Longer life expectancy makes these differences more pronounced. For example, careers like medicine or engineering become more attractive because long careers justify large early investments in training.
4. Retirement Behavior Changes
Individuals in cognitive occupations tend to delay retirement, while those in physical occupations retire earlier. Rising longevity increases this gap, contributing to:
higher wage inequality
occupational segregation by age and skills
pressure on social insurance systems
5. Macroeconomic Effects
At the economy-wide level, the paper predicts that longevity will:
increase overall educational attainment
raise productivity
shift the occupational structure toward skilled labor
alter savings behavior and pension demands
reshape labor supply across age groups
These effects are important for governments planning retirement age reforms and for employers adapting to aging workforces.
⭐ Overall Meaning
The paper shows that longevity is not just a demographic fact—it is an economic force that reshapes careers, education choices, retirement patterns, and the structure of the entire labor market. As people live longer, they invest more in skills, work differently, and choose jobs that allow productive aging. Understanding these dynamics is essential for designing education policies, retirement systems, and labor-market regulations in a world of rising life expectancy....

This PDF is a scientific editorial from the journa This PDF is a scientific editorial from the journal Aging (2021) that explains how mTORC1, a central nutrient- and energy-sensing cellular pathway, plays a critical role not only in lifespan extension within a single species but also in determining natural longevity differences between mammalian species.
The authors, Gustavo Barja and Reinald Pamplona, summarize recent comparative research showing that long-lived species naturally maintain lower mTORC1 activity, suggesting that downregulated mTORC1 signaling is an evolutionary adaptation that contributes to slower aging and extended longevity.
🔶 1. Background: The Aging Program & Effector Systems
The paper begins by reviewing the nuclear aging program (AP) and the network of aging effectors controlled by it.
These include:
mitochondrial ROS production
mitochondrial DNA repair
lipid composition of membranes
telomere shortening rates
metabolomic/lipidomic profiles
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
Long-lived species show:
low mitochondrial ROS at complex I
high mitochondrial DNA repair
lower unsaturated fatty acids in membranes
slower telomere shortening
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
These differences shape species-specific aging rates.
🔶 2. What is mTORC1 and Why It Matters for Aging?
mTORC1 is a highly conserved cellular signaling hub that integrates information about:
nutrients
energy (ATP, glucose)
amino acids (especially arginine, leucine, methionine)
hormones
oxygen levels
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
mTORC1 regulates:
protein + lipid synthesis
mitochondrial function
autophagy
cell growth and proliferation
stress responses
Within species, lowering mTORC1 activity increases lifespan in yeast, worms, flies, and mammals, while increased mTORC1 accelerates aging.
🔶 3. The New Study: First Cross-Species Analysis of mTORC1 and Longevity
The editorial highlights a new comparative study across eight mammalian species with lifespans ranging from 3.5 years (mouse) to 46 years (horse).
Using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), Western blotting, and targeted metabolomics, the study measured:
mTORC1 gene expression
mTORC1 protein levels
concentrations of activators and inhibitors
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
🔶 4. Key Findings: Long-Lived Species Naturally Suppress mTORC1
The study found that longer-living mammals consistently exhibit a molecular signature of low mTORC1 activity, including:
A) Activators ↓ (negatively correlated with longevity)
Long-lived species have low levels of:
mTOR
Raptor
Arginine
Methionine
SAM (S-adenosylmethionine)
Homocysteine
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
B) Inhibitors ↑ (positively correlated with longevity)
Long-lived species have higher levels of:
phosphorylated mTOR (mTORSer2448)
PRAS40
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
These patterns were independent of phylogeny, meaning they reflect functional longevity mechanisms, not ancestry.
🔶 5. Interpretation: mTORC1 Is Part of an Evolutionary Longevity Strategy
The authors argue that:
Long-lived species have evolved permanent, natural repression of mTORC1 signaling.
This protects cells from accelerated aging, degenerative diseases, and metabolic stress.
mTORC1 works in coordination with other aging effectors as part of the Cell Aging Regulating System (CARS).
mTORC1 is also involved in long…
This places mTORC1 as a cross-species determinant of longevity, not just a within-species modulator.
🔶 6. Overall Conclusion
The PDF concludes that maintaining low mTORC1 downstream activity during adult life is a conserved biological strategy that increases longevity both within and between mammalian species. This is the first study to show that natural variation in mTORC1 levels across species correlates directly with evolutionary differences in lifespan.
⭐ Perfect One-Sentence Summary
This editorial explains that long-lived mammalian species naturally suppress mTORC1 activity—through lower levels of its activators and higher levels of its inhibitors—revealing mTORC1 as a fundamental, evolutionarily conserved determinant of species longevity....
